A bold vision has been cast for the creation of a powerful, enlightened, New Urbanist community set
in the popular southeast Metro Denver area.
RidgeGate is a vision for a new frontier, built on the foundation of design integrity, careful thought
process and a cooperative, innovative approach to planning. RidgeGate will raise the bar even higher
for a new gateway to South Denver and the wonders of the Colorado Front Range.
RidgeGate celebrates the union of nature and the surrounding man-made environment through
innovative community design principles related to New Urbanist philosophies. RidgeGate will offer a
totally new environment in this area for a broad cross section of people who choose to live, work, shop,
dine, and recreate in a place that is different. Modern pioneers, or explorers, will find RidgeGate
appealing as a new way of living the urban experience in southeast Metro Denver.
RidgeGate will be a community of healthy neighborhoods promoting
attractive, BuiltGreenTM
homes with parks and open space ranked as a high priority. Overall
themes of design importance were incorporated into three primary
categories: open space, transportation and urban design.
RidgeGate is a genuine community that provides the vibrant, interesting, people-oriented, mixed-use
environment of an urban setting combined with the advantages of suburban life.
“RidgeGate is going to be very
unique. What we're creating is a new type of community
that promotes walkability and the convenience of urban
living, but with a setting in the suburbs. I truly believe
there are a lot of people who want to live in this kind
of vital environment but don't necessarily want to live
right in the middle of the city to experience it.” -Keith Simon, Community Development Director, Coventry Development
