Location: The City Auditorium Block Urban Renewal Area is located in the eastern portion of Downtown Colorado Springs. The site is generally bounded on the north by East Kiowa Street, on the west by North Nevada Avenue, on the south by East Pikes Pak Avenue, and on the east by West Weber Street.
Plan Goals: The vision for the revitalization of the area is creation of high-quality mixed-use developments which vertically integrate a range of uses supported by strategic public improvement to facilities, parking, and infrastructure within and adjacent to the Plan boundaries. A combination of uses is proposed that will further promote redevelopment of the area as a mixed-use urban enclave in downtown and connect to neighborhoods to the east. A major goal of the Urban Renewal Authority is to contribute tax increments to be used to improve the City Auditorium.
Current Status: There are two proposed developments in the proposed Auditorium Block Urban Renewal Area, totaling 559,252 square feet of new development.
The first development is the Hyatt Place Hotel on the northwest corner of the block which was completed in 2021.
The second development is commercial development (office, retail, restaurant, residential, and a proposed City downtown multimodal transit center (bus, shuttle, ride share, pike ride/bicycles – scooters) and parking structure. The current downtown station is at capacity with no room for expansion and has no amenities, ADA access is difficult and mixed vehicle/pedestrian flow is
unsafe. These developments will include exterior streetscape improvements (such as sidewalks, lighting, curb and gutter, and landscaping), structured parking and on-site private improvements.
The proposed renovations of the City Auditorium that were slated to start in January 2024 have been put on hold.
