Just drive safe, as there are several uncontrolled intersections, construction trucks, drivers not sure where they are going, and kids riding their bikes.  In fact, the neighborhood has been built so fast, even the residents there don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on.  \u201cI\u2019m just trying to enjoy the ride,\u201d said Conservatory Green resident Blake Gibbs.  \u201cOur house was completed in three days, the road was done in two, and we had a complete block within six days.  These teams are incredible.\u201d\n<!--more-->\nThe teams that Gibbs is referring to are the wonderful teams hired by ABC\u2019s Extreme Makeover:  Home Edition.  \u201cForest City came to us and talked about all the great things they are doing in Denver in the Stapleton community,\u201d said Makeover Executive Producer Brady Connell.  \u201cBasically, they said, \u2018hey, you guys seem to be able to put up homes really fast, have you ever thought about an entire neighborhood?\u2019  We thought it was a very interesting idea, so things just moved forward from there.\u201d\nForest City provided Makeover with the plans for the neighborhood and Makeover made some adjustments to the plans which would better suit a television audience.  \u201cWe wanted to make sure a school was open while all the construction was going on around it,\u201d said Connell.  \u201cAdding drama is just good for TV, and having a new school opening near a busy road with uncontrolled intersections, with new residents, etc.  Well, you get the idea.\u201d  Connell said their goal was to get the entire neighborhood completed in under two months.  \u201cWe work the teams pretty hard once they have the vision,\u201d said Connell.  There is no reason these guys can\u2019 get the job done.  We always trust our teams.\u201d\nConnell says that six episodes will air showing the work on the neighborhood.  \u201cWe will be featuring some of the families, and of course, the crews,\u201d said Connell.  The series plans to air in early spring, long after the entire Conservatory Green neighborhood will have been completed.\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[150],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-5038","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-88","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5038","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5038"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5038\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5038"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5038"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5038"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
