The City of Glendale may finally get its long-postponed entertainment center, with a development company set to develop ten acres of city-owned land as the Glendale Entertainment District, with a concert venue, movie theater, restaurants, nightclubs and a resort hotel. "Back in the ’70s and early ’80s, we were kind of known as the entertainment area of Denver metro. For the last decade, we've been working on trying to get this project going," says Chuck Line, Glendale deputy city manager. Thanks to a Glendale City Council vote on May 26, Central Street Capital now has the contract and go-ahead to break ground on the $150 million project this fall, with a targeted opening date of late 2023. Located on land along the banks of Cherry Creek and bounded by East Virginia Avenue, South Colorado Boulevard and South Cherry Street, the Glendale Entertainment District — known in previous project iterations as Glendale 180 — will feature "a vast array of premier entertainment options, including a 40,000 square foot live music concert venue, movie theater, casual and fine dining, a proposed app-based sportsbook gaming hall, pubs, rooftop bars, nightclubs, exclusive shops, a new 200 room resort hotel, and beautifully landscaped outdoor plazas," according to a press release announcing the district deal.
