For Lone Tree’s RidgeGate neighborhood the future is now and it’s arriving by train
The anonymous family that owns the roughly six square miles of land in southern Lone Tree known as RidgeGate are a patient bunch.
They bought the property in 1972, 23 years before the city of Lone Tree incorporated. RidgeGate didn’t annex into the city until 2000. Coventry Development Corp., the company that represents the family’s interests here in the states, sold its first piece of property in 2001. That became Sky Ridge Medical Center, a primary employer and cornerstone for all development that has followed in RidgeGate on the west side of Interstate 25.
“That’s been a real advantage for us,” Keith Simon, Coventry’s vice president and director of development, said of his employers’ unhurried approach, “to wait until something was right.”
Next month, the longest of the family’s long plays will pay off when RTD’s 2.3-mile Southeast Rail Extension starts carrying E, F and R light rail trains to three new stops at the far southern end of the transit authority’s rail system. One of t..

Judge rules on portion of UPMC-Highmark Consent Decree
