Wave of New Development is Reshaping Southwest Globeville
A steady surge of new development is redefining Southwest Globeville, as large-scale mixed-use projects, infrastructure upgrades, and residential proposals continue to transform this once-industrial stretch of North Denver. With over 3,400 new residential units and hundreds of thousands of square feet of commercial and retail space planned or proposed, the corridor is quickly emerging as one of the city’s most urban, transit-connected districts.

Project Details
Anchoring the District: Fox Park
At the heart of this transformation is Fox Park, a 41-acre redevelopment that will bring over 2,000 housing units, 1.2 million square feet of office, manufacturing, and creative space, 17,000 square feet of retail and food space, a 240-room Virgin Hotel, and 14 acres of parks and open space. The project spans several blocks and is expected to unfold in phases over multiple years.
Link & Pin and 41st & Fox
Just south of Fox Park, the Link & Pin development will rise seven stories, adding 150 new housing units and 113 parking spaces. Adjacent to the site, RTD has submitted a rezoning application for the 41st & Fox Station area, aiming to align zoning with surrounding development and open the door for more transit-oriented projects near the commuter rail stop.
Additional Projects Across the Corridor
Several other major proposals are contributing to the area’s momentum:
40th & Fox: Plans call for 299 new residential units across three buildings, with 347 structured parking spaces.
39th & Fox Hotel: A proposed 69,000+ square foot hotel featuring 6,600 square feet of food and beverage space and a rooftop park.
38th & Huron: This southern project will deliver 427 apartment units, more than 6,000 square feet of ground-floor retail, and 349 parking spaces.

Looking Ahead
In addition to current development proposals, Southwest Globeville includes multiple industrial and commercial parcels with long-term redevelopment potential. While some projects remain in the planning or entitlement phase, the collective activity signals a substantial shift for the area.
Once defined by light industrial uses and limited infrastructure, Southwest Globeville is rapidly evolving into a walkable, mixed-use district with strong transit access via RTD’s G Line and nearby I-25 connections.
