About Centerra Development in Loveland
• Since 1991, McWhinney has planned and developed more than 6,000 acres in several master-planned communities and over 3.3 million square feet of vertical commercial and mixed-use properties throughout the Rocky Mountain region and on the West Coast.
• Centerra is Northern Colorado's largest master planned community, located in the heart of Northern Colorado at the intersection of Highway 34 and Interstate 25 in Loveland.
• Centerra contains over 3,000 acres and will include over 5,000 homes, over 5 million square feet of office and medical uses, and over 4 million square feet of retail/mixed use.
• The landscape vision at Centerra was inspired by Northern Colorado's majestic mountain views, expansive rolling hills, winding waterways, 100-year-old cottonwood groves, and historic lakes and reservoirs.
• At Centerra, all lights follow "dark sky requirements", or the promotion of quality lighting (placing light only where it is needed, without causing glare).
• Centerra offers the first and only lifestyle shopping center in Northern Colorado, The Promenade Shops at Centerra. The 700,000 square foot outdoor lifestyle center is a joint venture between McWhinney and Poag & McEwen, a national Lifestyle Centers developer.
• Centerra is home to thousands of native, highly drought tolerant plantings and turf. Centerra is a prime example of commercial landscapes that incorporate a very high percentage of "Low to Very Low Water Use Plants," which use 40% less water than high water use plants.
• The Promenade Shops at Centerra has approximately one million square feet of low water plantings and low maintenance turfs.
• Centerra is home to the Medical Center of The Rockies, a state-of-the-art 136 bed regional hospital that is on track to being one of the only LEED certified hospitals in the nation.
• Since 1990, McWhinney and the McWhinney Foundation have given nearly $20 million in cash gifts and land donations, primarily focused in Loveland, Colorado.
