SuperTarget likely to anchor Tamarac Square

Unless there is serious objection from neighborhood groups, the redeveloped Tamarac Square on East Hampden Avenue will likely be home to a SuperTarget as the mall’s main anchor. According to Denver’s department of community planning and development, Tamarac’s owner, Developers Diversified Realty in Ohio, has had a “concept meeting” with the city to build a new Target. “They are tearing down the main portion of the mall for the Target,” said Nancy Kuhn, deputy communications director for Mayor Guillermo “Bill” Vidal. “The other buildings on the site are remaining.” Target spokeswoman Sarah Bakken confirmed that the Minneapolis-based mega-retailer is “exploring an opportunity to bring a new Target store to the Tamarac Square area.” The next meeting among the developer, Denver’s planning department and the public will be from 6 to 7:30 tonight at Tamarac. Representatives from Developers Diversified are supposed to provide information on the redevelopment of the specialty center during the meeting, according to City Councilwoman Peggy Lehmann.
