Buffalo Wild Wings:
The Nikki Group investors have submitted a proposal to the Town of
Castle Rock for a site development plan to build a new Bu alo Wild
Wings restaurant which will be located at the northwest corner of
Factory Shops Blvd. and New Memphis. Once built, the proposed
restaurant will be about 7,000 square feet. Bu alo Wild Wings started
in 1982 when Jim Disbrow and Scott Lowery moved to Ohio from
Bu alo NY. They were unable to nd New York-style chicken wings, so they decided to start a wing restaurant near their home. It quickly became very popular. Since their initial opening, the franchise has expanded into every state in the U.S. They o er 21 signature sauces to accompany their wild wings.
Shake Shack:
Shake Shack Colorado LLC has submitted a site proposal plan to build a new 4,000 square foot restaurant on the east side of Promenade Parkway and to the west of TJ Maxx. Grading and infrastructure work has begun on this project. Shake Shack is known for their outstanding malts and shakes, burgers and chicken selections. Grand opening is TBD.
Columbia Clothing Store:
At the Factory Outlet Stores in Castle Rock, Columbia is expanding their store by adding 1993 square feet to the existing space. This will provide more square footage for clothing display and storage for inventory. This is a popular store for patrons year-around.
Widening of Highway 85 From Sedalia to Louviers:
The Colorado Department of Transportation and Castle Rock Construction Company have begun work on the US 85 widening project which is a 2.5 mile stretch of the highway. The project will rebuild and widen this part of the highway to two lanes on both sides. The project is expected to ease congestion, improve access to side streets and left turn lanes. They ask those traveling this stretch of highway to be patient during construction and drive safely. Cost of this project is $23 million and expected completion is July 2022.
Larkspur:
Sandstone Ranch Open Space:
Douglas County has a new open space located just west of Highway 105
and Perry Park Road. This is an expansive area with 2,038 acres containing
red rock formations, scenic hay meadows and rolling hills. There is a 12-mile
loop trail located on the eastern portion of the ranch for non-motorized use
only. The trails are open to hikers, mountain bike riders, and those on horseback. In the winter, outdoor enthusiasts can use the trails for snowshoeing and cross country skiing. Users will enjoy spectacular views and nature walks year around. This crown jewel is ready for the public to explore and get outside. Construction of the entrance and public parking was recently completed, just in time for the grand opening. In 2017, Douglas County acquired this land for the sum of $18,750,000. This was achieved in part with sales and use tax revenue form the 1994 voter-approved Douglas County Open Space fund. Adding to existing open space within Douglas County makes it understandable that our County has consistently been recognized as being one of the healthiest in America. I highly recommend that you, your friends and family get outdoors, especially during Covid 19 restrictions, and enjoy this amazing new open space!
