Schnitzer West is developing two office products at the Downtown Westminster site.

WESTMINSTER, Colo. — The redevelopment of the old Westminster Mall site took a step forward this week with economic development officials announcing the first office project for, what’s dubbed as, “Downtown Westminster.”

Bellevue, Washington-based Schnitzer West, a developer that’s tackling multiple speculative office projects across metro Denver, was chosen as the developer of two office sites in Downtown Westminster totaling up to 650,000 square feet. A groundbreaking is scheduled for 2021 with a two-year construction cycle, said John Hall, economic development director for the city of Westminster.

Downtown Westminster has been slowly coming together since the old mall was razed in 2011 and the 105-acre site later purchased by Westminster Economic Development. The site is bordered by 88th Avenue to the south, North Harlan Street to the west, 92nd Avenue to the north and US 36 to the east.

Two developments have already opened — an Alamo Drafthouse and a 118-unit affordable housing community. In the coming weeks, Ascent, a 255-unit market-rate apartment building with ground-floor retail is slated to open. And then in the second quarter of 2020, a 125-room Origin Hotel, along with a Tattered Cover Bookstore at the hotel entrance, are scheduled to open.
