"Opportunities like this simply don't come along often in Greenwood Village."
That's Todd Baker, regional president of Century Communities, talking about a 13-acre site south of The Landmark that broke ground on June 4, 2026. He's right, and the reason he's right tells you more about how this market actually works than any headline about "new construction coming to DTC" ever will.
Because there isn't one new construction story unfolding in Denver Tech Center this year. There are two, and they have almost nothing to do with each other.
The Lot Nobody Could Touch
The site directly south of The Landmark's entertainment district sat empty for most of two decades. Century Communities bought the 13 acres for $11 million from the FDIC back in 2016, but the land had been caught in limbo since the 2008 crash, and it stayed that way for years after. According to reporting from the Denver Gazette, redevelopment plans for the broader area kept stalling between pressure for denser, transit-oriented housing and pushback from residents worried about traffic and infrastructure. A Greenwood Village City Council approval last November finally cleared the way, and Century started site work this summer.
That timeline matters because it explains something buyers often get wrong about this part of the metro. Greenwood Village's boundaries are essentially built out. Its zoning has protected single-family character for a long time, and new detached-home projects almost never break ground inside city limits. When one finally does, it's not a sign the market opened up. It's a sign one very specific site finally cleared one very specific set of hurdles.
What's Actually Getting Built
The project is called The Village at Landmark, and the numbers are worth sitting with. Ninety detached, gated homes on those 13 acres, priced from $1.7 million to $3 million, ranging from about 3,280 to 4,500 square feet. Every home comes with a three-bay garage, a private elevator, and a rooftop living space, designed by Godden Sudik Architects. Model homes are expected to start construction later this year, with actual sales anticipated to begin in spring 2027, according to Century Communities' own announcement.
The groundbreaking ceremony on June 4 drew Greenwood Village Mayor George Lantz along with city officials and community leaders, a detail that says something about how rare this kind of project is here. You don't get a mayor at a groundbreaking for a routine infill deal.
Part of what makes the site viable now, rather than five years ago, is that The Landmark itself has filled out. The mixed-use district around those condo towers now includes Comedy Works, Landmark Theatres, JING, and Upstairs Circus alongside its restaurant lineup, and the new homes are being marketed on walkable access to all of it, plus proximity to Club Greenwood. A gated luxury enclave only works as a sales pitch if the neighborhood around it has something to walk to. For years, this stretch didn't.
The Bigger, Quieter Story Happening at the Same Time
Here's where it gets interesting. While 90 ultra-luxury homes are the headline-grabbing new construction in Greenwood Village, a much larger wave of new housing is showing up a short drive away, and it looks nothing like Village at Landmark.
Denver's Class A office rents in top submarkets, including the Tech Center, were climbing as much as 5% earlier in 2026 as companies leased less space but insisted on better buildings. That flight to quality has left older office stock behind, and when a building from the 1990s can't attract tenants at any price, tearing it down and building apartments starts to look like the only play that pencils. As of this spring, Trammell Crow was planning roughly 660 apartments on one such site, Shea Properties was adding another 143 units nearby, and Belleview Station was bringing more than 600 additional units online. Add those three projects together and you get well over 1,400 new apartment units moving through the pipeline in the same district where Century is building 90 homes.
Those two supply stories are not competing for the same buyer, and that's the point. One is rental, market-driven by office vacancy math. The other is $1.7 million and up, for sale, and gated. A household deciding between a new apartment near Belleview Station and a resale condo isn't shopping the same shelf as someone with $2 million to spend on a rooftop deck south of The Landmark. If you hear "DTC is adding a lot of new housing" this year, the follow-up question has to be which kind, because the answer changes the neighborhood, the price tier, and the buyer entirely.
| The Village at Landmark | Office-to-apartment conversions | |
|---|---|---|
| Unit count | 90 detached homes | 1,400+ apartment units across three projects |
| Price tier | $1.7M to $3M, for sale | Market-rate rental |
| Delivery | Sales expected spring 2027 | Rolling through 2026 and beyond |
| What drove it | A rare cleared 13-acre site | Older office towers losing tenants |
Why the Median Means Almost Nothing Here
Denver Tech Center isn't a city. It's a business district stitched together from pieces of Greenwood Village, Denver, Centennial, and Englewood, and that has a direct effect on what "median home price" even means when you're comparing this area to somewhere like Littleton or Parker.
According to First Alliance Title's neighborhood overview, a condo inside the immediate DTC core can carry a median in the $371,000 to $600,000 range, but cross into Greenwood Village's 80111 zip code and typical home values jump to around $1.42 million, driven by the strict single-family zoning discussed above. Two homes a short walk apart can sit in entirely different price universes depending on which side of an invisible line they're on.
That fragmentation shows up in listing data too. As of June 2026, condos specifically inside the Greenwood Village portion of Denver Tech Center carried a median sale price around $1,025,000, with active listings spanning $295,000 to just over $2 million and an average of 56 days on market. Widen the lens to the broader DTC footprint, pulling in zip codes outside Greenwood Village's boundary, and the median drops sharply, closer to the $400,000s. Neither number is wrong. They're just measuring different footprints, and a buyer who doesn't ask which footprint a stat came from is comparing apples to a completely different orchard.
What This Actually Means If You're Comparing DTC to Other Suburbs
If you're weighing Denver Tech Center against nearby options, the honest way to think about budget here is in tiers, not a single number:
- Under roughly $700,000 puts you in the attached, condo-heavy core of DTC itself, often in older towers or lock-and-leave buildings.
- Around $1 million to $1.4 million is where most existing single-family resale inside Greenwood Village's city limits sits.
- $1.7 million and up is a genuinely new tier for this specific footprint, one that didn't really exist here as new construction until this year.
None of those tiers are competing with the apartment wave described above, which is a separate rental market answering a separate question: what happens to office buildings nobody wants to lease anymore.
A Detail Worth Knowing Before You Write an Offer
Because so much of the housing stock immediately around Denver Tech Center is vertical, condo and townhome product, title work here carries a couple of specific things to check. A thorough search needs to confirm whether a Metro District bond adds a separate mill levy to the annual property tax bill, and it needs to pull an official HOA Status Letter, because an association can place a super-lien on a unit if a prior owner fell behind on dues. Neither issue is unique to this market, but the concentration of vertical living here makes them come up more often than they would in a neighborhood of standalone single-family homes.
Questions Worth Asking Before You Compare Prices
Will the new homes at Village at Landmark push down resale prices nearby? Not broadly. Ninety homes releasing over more than one sales season inside a narrow $1.7 million to $3 million band is not enough supply to move a market that includes both a sub-$700,000 condo core and a much larger, entirely separate apartment pipeline serving renters.
When can I actually buy inside Village at Landmark? Not yet. Model homes are expected to begin construction later in 2026, with actual home sales anticipated to start in spring 2027. Anyone who wants a foothold in that immediate footprint sooner is looking at resale inventory nearby, not new construction.
Why do median price figures for Denver Tech Center vary so much between sources? Because DTC isn't a single jurisdiction. It's assembled from parts of Greenwood Village, Denver, Centennial, and Englewood, and each source draws its boundary differently. A number that looks contradictory is often just measuring a different footprint than the one you assumed.
If you're trying to figure out which of these tiers actually fits your budget and your timeline, or whether a resale home near The Landmark makes more sense than waiting for 2027, that's exactly the kind of local math worth talking through before you start touring.
