\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>Forest City has announced the name of its new neighborhood just north of 56th Ave. and east of Central Park Blvd. The new neighborhood will be Beeler Park<\/a>. Stapleton\u2019s 11th neighborhood will have a unique style of homes, only fitting for Forest City\u2019s vision of \u201curban plan meets the Great Plains.\u201d \u201cWe feel this new home style is absolutely perfect for Beeler Park,\u201d said Forest City President Phil Dargossi. \u201cThese new homes are not only Zero Energy ready \u2122, but they will actually produce energy for neighborhoods throughout Stapleton.\u201d The innovative home styles may seem peculiar to some, but as one Forest City representative said, \u201cat Stapleton, we\u2019ve created a community built on big ideas<\/a>, and after over 10 years, we\u2019re still writing the book on new ways to live.\u201d This new way of living<\/a> will definitely be completely unique.\nEssentially, the homes will be livable, completely functioning wind turbines. \u201cThis is the way of the future,\u201d said Dargossi. \u201cNot only do these homes not need any outside energy, they produce energy. And being out there on the plains, they will get lots of wind, producing plenty of energy for the rest of Stapleton. It\u2019s really a perfect plan.\u201d The homes will not be exact replicas of each other, but will be very similar based on the challenges the type of structure presents. \u201cThe biggest difference between the homes will be the paint colors,\u201d said Forest City spokesperson Janelle Ayers. \u201cMuch like the rest of Stapleton, we will have a unique variety of colors, which will at least give the turbine homes some sort of differentiation. After that, it is up to each buyer\u2019s style to decorate their homes accordingly.\u201d Each home will have a spiraling staircase four stories high. After that, access will be limited to the turbine engineering team only. \u201cThis is not just another wind farm,\u201d said Ayers. \u201cIt is a neighborhood. But, yeah, it will look like a really neatly painted wind farm. And so much more, probably.\u201d\nCurrent residents question how excited buyers<\/a> will be to live in a turbine. \u201cI\u2019m not sure Forest City understands how loud these things can be,\u201d said Jim Sovran. \u201cThey can be extremely loud. I can\u2019t imagine you can out-engineer that noise.\u201d Resident Liam Hanson also has reservations about the new age homes. \u201cAre they going to have addresses or just big numbers on them such as \u2018turbine number 114?\u2019\u201d asked Hanson. \u201cIt\u2019s completely ridiculous. Forest City has again out-thought themselves.\u201d Many existing residents are already poking fun at the new neighborhood, giving it the nickname \u201cKeebler Park<\/a>\u201d comparing it to the tree-dwelling, cookie making elves. Final renderings of the neighborhood are not yet available, but Forest City hopes to present them by the end of August.]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
