\t\t\t\t\"Science<\/a>With the Central Park rail station and the light rail to downtown and the airport projected for completion in the next couple of years, community members are curious as to what the transit<\/a> oriented development (TOD) will look like. \u201cI live in Central Park North, and I am all for the project,\u201d says resident Dan Fisher. \u201cI am just curious as to what they have planned for the area. Restaurants? Hotels? Shops? I am sure they will do something with it. It\u2019s not like that ghost town of a town center in Eastbridge.\u201d\n\nForest City has not said much in regards to the plans, but recently went on record to explain what Stapleton residents can expect. \u201cWe are hoping for tall, silvery, glass buildings,\u201d said Forest City Spokesperson Janelle Ayers. \u201cIt is going to be really cool, and futuristic looking. Think of the movie, iRobot, and that is kind of what people should expect.\u201d Ayers did not offer many specifics in regards to what will encompass the \u201cfuturistic looking\u201d structures. \u201cWe expect anywhere between one million to five million square feet of office space. In addition, maybe some multi-family units, maybe not. We potentially could have a hotel. I don\u2019t know, but that would seem to be a good fit, right? Yeah, probably a hotel.\u201d\nAyers says that residents don\u2019t need to focus on what or who is going in the buildings, but need to focus on the \u201ccoolness\u201d of the buildings themselves. \u201cIf you haven\u2019t seen the depictions of the buildings, you have to see them,\u201d Said Ayers. \u201cI mean, I can\u2019t say enough about the architects. It looks like the drawings were right out of a science fiction movie, and we put them in the middle of a massive residential area. We are literally going to beat the future to the future.\u201d Ayers says Forest City will continue to update residents in regards to their plans for TOD. \u201cIt\u2019s still early, but I am pretty excited about these buildings. I\u2019m going to feel like a space lady just going up and down in those elevators.\u201d]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
