Belle Creek is a 171-acre (69-hectare) mixed-income, master-planned, new urbanist community located in Commerce City, Colorado — a suburban area approximately eight miles (13 kilometers) northeast of downtown Denver and west of Denver International Airport (DIA). Upon completion, the development will feature 900 dwelling units — a mix of single-family homes, townhouses, and rental apartments — as well as a town center, and 61,000 square feet (5,670 square meters) of retail and office space and pocket parks. Fronting the town green, the project’s focal point is a “family center” that includes an early childhood learning center, a school, and other community amenities.
