It’s a Great Day to be in Lone Tree!
Lone Tree, Colorado, is a vibrant community located approximately 18 miles south of Denver. Like many other Douglas County communities, Lone Tree has thrived over the past few decades, even during the down economy. It is hard to find a more ideal location – Lone Tree is located only minutes from the Denver Tech Center (DTC)/Meridian and it is home to Park Meadows Mall, SkyRidge Medical Center and to the most southern stop on Denver’s light rail system.
A brief history of Lone Tree: The first homeowners moved into Lone Tree in 1982 but it wasn’t until 1995 when the City of Lone Tree was actually incorporated. Lone Tree voters approved annexation of 3,500-acre RidgeGate property in 2000. Park Meadows Mall was annexed into Lone Tree in 2007, which has greatly benefited the community.
The future of Lone Tree is bright. With the new RidgeGate Parkway East/Mainstreet Extension opening a year ago, the possibilities are endless for Lone Tree. RidgeGate, a six-square-mile property south of Lincoln Avenue, was annexed in 2000 and is already partially developed. According to recent article in the Lone Tree News, there are plans for Lone Tree’s city center to be located in RidgeGate, which will include an urban style core with high-rise buildings and a new light rail station.
