In today’s fast-paced world of home remodeling, many homeowners looking for clean, modern cabinetry turn to mass-market options like IKEA. The appeal is obvious: sleek designs, accessible pricing, and fast availability. But when it comes to lasting value, tailored fit, and luxury design, stock cabinetry can quickly fall short.
Wheat Ridge is quietly becoming one of the most compelling neighborhoods in the Denver metro area. Tucked along the city’s western edge, this once-sleepy suburb is now experiencing a wave of thoughtful development that balances character, charm, and community growth. One of the latest signs of this transformation is the $15.8 million purchase of Gold’s Marketplace by local investor Tucker Manion of CentrePoint Properties. His investment in this mid-century shopping center isn’t just a bet on retail—it’s a vote of confidence in Wheat Ridge’s future.
At Sustainable Design Build, we believe every square foot of your property holds potential and the ability to become whatever you need. Accessory Dwelling Units or ADUs are a unique custom home construction project that unlocks a variety of uses and functionality for a home. These custom home buildings are versatile, high-value additions to your home that can serve far beyond traditional guest suites, family extensions, and rentals. ADUs in the last few years have become a growing focal point in the Denver neighborhoods – giving inspiration to homeowners to maximize their property’s functionality and value. With increasing access and policy changes in Denver, ADUs are becoming more available and affordable to build. With that, SDB has seen some very impressive pitches into what clients have envisioned for their very own Accessory Dwelling Units.
As Memorial Day weekend approaches, it marks more than just a long-awaited break or the unofficial start of summer—it signals a shift in how we live, gather, and enjoy our homes. The warmer weather, longer days, and the return of outdoor entertaining awaken something in all of us: a desire to refresh, expand, and enhance the spaces we call home.
Sustainable Design Build has been providing Denver and the surrounding metro area with experienced and knowledgeable services towards building homes, remodeling interiors, creating home additions and of course constructing ADUs. Accessory Dwelling Units, or ADUs, have come up in a growing trend across the city where homeowners are seeking to build a separate accessory home that can be perfect for a number of uses. For SDB, Denver residents have had the primary interest in building ADUs, but there are many regulations and roadblocks that can stop a project from beginning. The same can be said for any municipality, just like Arvada. At Sustainable Design Build, we are committed to helping Arvada homeowners navigate the ADU building process so that a smooth and streamlined building experience is provided.
In November 2022, Denver voters approved the “Waste No More” ordinance (Initiated Ordinance 306), mandating comprehensive recycling and composting practices across various sectors, including construction and demolition (C&D) projects. This initiative aims to significantly reduce landfill waste and promote sustainable building practices throughout the city.
Denver’s parks and recreation department wants the former Park Hill golf Course to open as a park this Summer. Following Denver City Council’s decision to approve a land swap agreement on Monday, Westside Investment Partners and the city will deliver a new regional park for the surrounding community.
Back in March of 2025, Denver announced that it was looking into building a stadium that would seat 14,500 for a National Women’s Soccer League over at Santa Fe Yards near Broadway and I-25. The latest update reveals that a majority of Denver City Council Members support the project and vision to bring the stadium to fruition. But there is still a long way to go to figuring out the details, logistics, and more.
The Denver City Council has officially approved a significant land swap that marks a major turning point in the long-debated future of the Park Hill Golf Course. In a unanimous vote on Monday afternoon, councilmembers gave the green light to exchange 145 acres of land near 56th Avenue and Powhaton Road—located just south of Denver International Airport—for the 155-acre former golf course along Colorado Boulevard.
Cooling off in Denver’s Five Points neighborhood will remain a challenge for the next few summers. The pool at Mestizo-Curtis Park, Denver’s oldest park, has been closed since 2023 and isn’t expected to reopen until 2027. Built in the 1950s, the pool and bathhouse are overdue for replacement, and city officials say the current facilities no longer meet community needs.
The City of Denver is moving forward with a landmark plan to transform the former Park Hill Golf Course into a large public park through a land swap agreement with Westside Investment Partners. This decision follows years of legal and political battles over the site’s future, with strong public support favoring the preservation of open space. Under the proposed agreement, the city would trade a similarly valued parcel near Denver International Airport to gain control of the 155-acre property, paving the way for rezoning, park planning, and eventual development. While the initiative represents a major investment in green infrastructure and community recreation, city officials are also weighing concerns about potential gentrification and displacement in surrounding neighborhoods.
