ABOUT THE LOWRY REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY

The Lowry Redevelopment Authority (LRA) is a non-profit, quasi-public organization established by the Cities of Denver and Aurora to redevelop the former Lowry Air Force Base using the Lowry Community Reuse Plan. The LRA serves as master planner and developer of the 1,866-acre site with responsibility for zoning, infrastructure improvements and real estate sales. It will disband when the redevelopment is completed. The LRA's mission is to create a mixed-use, master planned community in metropolitan Denver where citizens can live, learn, work and play for generations to come.

Forward-thinking Philosophy
With its well-tended boulevards, quiet residential streets and central location, Lowry incorporates the best aspects of Denver's great old neighborhoods. But the Lowry Redevelopment Authority is also looking forward — into the needs of future generations. And this is particularly true when it comes to the environment. Old Air Force runways have been recycled into brand new roads; beautiful old trees have been moved rather than cut down; 20,000 new trees have been planted.

Lowry's streets, roundabouts and trails system are designed to reduce car trips — and pollution. Many of Lowry's are being built to maximize energy efficiency, minimize pollution and conserve natural resources. And careful land planning and xeriscaping, plus a golf course that incorporates sustainable resource management techniques, will save one of Colorado's most precious resources: water.

Lowry is also forward-thinking when it comes to technology. The homes, businesses and schools at Lowry are connected by scenic trails and sidewalks, but also by an advanced telecommunications network.

That way, homeowners, students and workers at Lowry have enhanced access to education, entertainment and a variety of other services from within and outside the community; and other buildings are pre-wired for high-speed Internet access, multiple phone lines and advanced audio and video distribution.

Thanks to Lowry's progressive philosophy, businesses and residents can call Lowry their home for generations to come.
