$400M Castle Rock “Brickyard” Taking Shape
A Developer’s vision was to turn a dilapidated brickyard into a multi-dimensional mixed-use community hub. Confluence Companies is soon to make that vision a reality.
In 2019, the facility’s owner, Texas-based Acme Brick Co., shuttered the plant, leaving a 31-acre site and approximately 3 million sturdy building blocks behind.
The Denver Business Journal reports that Confluence paid $7 million for the site, used the bricks in its other projects, and crushed others for the construction road. This ambitious project will change the look of Castle Rock, 20 minutes south of Denver.
The Brickyard will have 336,000 square feet of commercial space, including a 145,000-square-foot recreational center, a 99,000-square-foot hotel with 125 rooms and a conference center, 34,000 square feet of restaurant space and 58,000 square feet of offices.
It will also include around 300 apartment units and 160 for-sale condominiums.
Confluence has already invested $200 million in previous projects in Castle Rock, and that number doubles with the $400 million investment in The Brickyard.
