Holly Square: Shared Space though Equitable Redevelopment

• In 2009 ULC purchased and completed the demolition of this fire bombed former shopping center on 2.6 acres

• With support of The Denver Foundation’s Strengthening Neighborhoods Program, residents and stake holders of northeast Park Hill coalesced into a community-wide group called the Holly Area Redevelopment Project (HARP), to determine how best the site should be redeveloped equitably.

• Equitable redevelopment came with the completion of the new Boys & Girls Club Center, under a 99 year ground lease with ULC

• Tenants in the nonprofit shared space at the Boys & Girls Club are: Impact Empowerment Group, Mi Casa and HARP

Shared Space for Preschools and Nonprofits

Purchased in January 2012 in partnership with the City, this vacant community center in the middle of Curtis Park was renovated to create the new Family Star Montessori School (above). The long term plan is for ULC to sell the improvements back to the school and continue to be the steward of the land for the next 198 years

ULC also renovated the adjacent historic administrative building to create the Curtis Park Nonprofit Center that houses the administration of Family Star as well as 6 other nonprofits. (right)
