Prism Places Partners with McWhinney for New Developments in Northern Colorado

Prism Places, a forward-thinking firm in commercial real estate management and investment, has announced an exciting partnership with McWhinney, a seasoned developer known for its impactful projects. This collaboration aims to bring two new vibrant mixed-use commercial districts to Northern Colorado, a region witnessing rapid growth just north of Denver.

Transforming Urban Spaces

The project encompasses two distinct developments: Center Street in Broomfield and Avenue South in Loveland. Both locations are part of master-planned communities, emphasizing sustainability and innovation while catering to the needs of growing suburban populations.

Center Street – A New Business Hub in Broomfield

The first project, Center Street, will act as the main commercial district for Baseline—a sprawling 1,100-acre community in Broomfield. Expected to feature a walkable area, this development totals 312,000 square feet, which will consist of:

• - 80,000 square feet for office spaces
• - 116,000 square feet dedicated to retail
• - 37,000 square feet for grocery services
• - 78,500 square feet for various dining options

In addition, over 400 residential units are planned as part of this vibrant district, further enhancing the community's capability to support local businesses. The project, designed by the esteemed Michael Hsu Office of Architecture, has already secured a lease with an organic grocer, a trend indicative of the community's increasing demand for local and sustainable options.

Avenue South – The Heart of Loveland

The Avenue South district will serve as the commercial heart of Centerra, a massive 3,000-acre development in Loveland, Colorado. This area is designed to reflect the essence of American Main Streets, combining both local and national brands in a dynamic environment. The key features of Avenue South include:

• - 128,000 square feet of retail space
• - 72,000 square feet for restaurants
• - 127,000 square feet of Class A office space
• - 1,750 new residential units planned for the area.

Highlighting its commitment to sustainability, Avenue South has also secured a lease with an organic grocery store. This project, with a design by Architects Orange, is expected to foster a sense of community through its carefully curated mix of shops, eateries, and service providers.

Impacting the Community and Environment

Both projects reflect Prism Places and McWhinney's commitment to creating exciting spaces for shopping, dining, and recreation. Their approach is rooted in understanding and responding to community needs, thus ensuring these hubs will flourish. Stenn Parton, the Founder and CEO of Prism Places, emphasized the importance of delivering spaces that resonate with the local culture while simultaneously offering a unique shopping experience.

Chad McWhinney, CEO of McWhinney, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the vital role of retail mixed with residential areas in supporting smart growth. By integrating creative and innovative commercial spaces, both companies are dedicated to shaping Colorado's Northern region into a thriving economic locale.

Future Prospects

With Avenue South set to break ground in November 2025 and Center Street following in September 2026, both developments represent a promising future for Northern Colorado. They are not just business ventures; they embody a vision for lively and sustainable communities that prioritize quality of life, connectivity, and economic growth.

As these projects unfold, they serve as a testament to the potential of collaborative efforts in real estate that prioritize both environmental integrity and community engagement. Prism Places and McWhinney have proven their capability to turn ambitious visions into tangible realities, making them key players in Colorado’s growth narrative.
