Uplands developers outline plans for 94 new high-end homes with park connections

The Westminster Planning Commission meeting on April 22, 2025, highlighted significant developments in the Uplands neighborhood, focusing on infrastructure improvements and new housing projects that promise to reshape the community.

One of the key discussions centered on the ongoing infrastructure work, particularly along 84th Avenue, where utility lines are being buried to enhance the area’s aesthetics and functionality. This project is part of a broader metro district initiative aimed at improving trunk infrastructure for the entire Uplands area. The development will also feature a sub-homeowners association (HOA) to manage the diverse housing typologies planned for the neighborhood.

The anticipated housing units are expected to be larger and more expensive, with initial estimates suggesting prices starting around $600,000. The developers noted that the unique topography of the site contributes to the higher costs, as the homes will be designed to accommodate the landscape. This development is projected to begin construction in 2027, following the completion of necessary planning and permitting processes.

Safety concerns were also addressed, particularly in light of a recent fire incident in the area. The developers emphasized their collaboration with city officials and fire services to ensure adequate access and safety measures for the new homes, which will include improved trail and park connections for both pedestrians and vehicles.

The commission's discussions reflect a commitment to enhancing community infrastructure while addressing housing needs. As the project progresses, residents can expect updates on construction timelines and further details on the housing options available in the Uplands neighborhood.
