BACKGROUND

Baseline, formally known as the North Park subdivision, is located southwest of I-25 and Colorado 7 in northeast Broomfield. This planned community will be developed with a mix of uses over the next 20-40 years. Development is underway with new housing and commercial space, and at buildout, Baseline is expected to include approximately 9,000 residential units, six to seven million square feet of commercial development, approximately 170 acres for parks, trails and native areas, as well as the dedication of an approximately 40-acre parcel for a future community park along Sheridan Parkway south of Anthem community park.

The Adams 12 school district has planned to locate a future STEM or STEAM school, with an iconic design and approach. Timing for the school construction will be determined by Adams 12. The developer will also be providing space or funds for a future branch library and police annex.
