DENVER — The Denver City Council on Monday approved a handful of key elements needed for Kroenke Sports and Entertainment to advance its redevelopment plans for Ball Arena .In total, Denver City Council voted on five different agenda items related to the redevelopment. KSE plans to transform roughly 70 acres surrounding Ball Arena into a mixed-use development, complete with apartments, retail and office space. In order to do so, the land first needed to be rezoned.
“The basic idea is the more they can build, the more affordable that they can build,' said Councilmember Chris Hinds before the public hearings. “If they get the height extension, they can build 6,000 units. Eighteen percent of that is 1,080 units. And so, having 1,080 units is pretty substantial when we're in an affordable housing crisis.”More than two dozen people signed up to express their opinions to council members on Monday evening.
