Developer East West Partners’ plans to redevelop the 13-acre west end of the Cherry Creek Shopping Center cleared their primary hurdle Monday evening. The Denver City Council voted unanimously, with two members absent, in favor of rezoning the property at the corner of 1st Avenue and University Boulevard, as well as to approve a development agreement that includes commitments on items such as the inclusion of income-restricted housing. While the individual buildings within the project will still need to receive various city approvals, Monday’s vote allows Denver-based East West to start work on a project that it first announced in November 2023. Seven buildings are currently planned.
