Though details of Brickyard are still in the works, DeSimone did tell the council that the project is planning for 300-500 housing units. “What really brings the viability to the site is the residential component.” “We saw a really great opportunity to make the site even better by proposing to work together with the town to do a no-cost land contribution to Castle Rock to build a future facility,” Tony DeSimone, a principal at Confluence, said. It would be surrounded by apartments, condos, townhomes, retail, offices, restaurants and a destination hotel, per Confluence Companies’ vision. The Brickyard proposal would place the sports center on Prairie Hawk Drive on the old Acme Brick site near Interstate-25 in the central part of town. Land already owned by the town was considered for building the sports center, but Brauer said the sites weren’t suited for the project since most are located in residential areas where a traffic-generating recreation facility would have negative impacts. The town’s budget is around $63-67 million. The proposed sports center would be around 125,000 square feet and house five courts for basketball, pickleball and volleyball, a 10-lane pool and warm-up pool, spectator seating, an indoor track, gym and group fitness spaces, among other amenities. “We’re trying to complement the Miller Activity Complex, which focuses more on entertainment activities and the traditional recreation center which really focuses on family activities.” “We haven’t built a competitive swimming pool or basketball facility since 1988,” Brauer said. On May 17, the town council heard details of Confluence Companies’ idea to develop the Brickyard project.Ĭastle Rock Director of Parks and Recreation Jeff Brauer said existing recreation facilities can’t handle the demand and roughly 5,000 people have been put on waitlist since January 2021 due to a lack of pool, classroom, turf and gym space. In looking to expand the recreational opportunities in town, Castle Rock accepted Request for Proposals to help identify space for a Sports Development Center. McKenna Harford Castle Rock proposal would have the town partner with a private developer to build an indoor recreation facility and transform the former Acme Brick facility and surrounding area into a mixed use project, including residential units and commercial space.
