King Soopers plans new Lone Tree Marketplace, adding 250 jobs

A new King Soopers Marketplace is set to reshape 17 acres on the east side of Interstate 25 in Lone Tree, putting a full-service grocery store, gas station and supporting shops at the center of RidgeGate’s next retail district. The project, at about 12600 RidgeGate Parkway in the RidgeGate Parkway Couplet District, is expected to bring roughly 250 jobs and give nearby residents a larger shopping option closer to home.

Lone Tree City Council approved the development plan in April 2025. City materials describe the site as part of RidgeGate East Filing No. 3 and call for a replat, new driveways, parking lots, sidewalks, outdoor amenity spaces and landscaping. The proposal includes a 123,000-square-foot King Soopers, a gas station and six stand-alone commercial buildings, making the store more than a single building and more like the anchor of a broader neighborhood center.

Regency Centers said in February that it had closed on the land and named the project Lone Tree Village. Regency described the development as an approximately 158,000-square-foot open-air shopping center anchored by the King Soopers and fuel center, with about 31,000 square feet of shop space across multiple buildings and an outparcel opportunity. The project is scheduled to open in 2027.

For Lone Tree, the store marks another step in the long buildout of RidgeGate, the 3,500-acre master-planned mixed-use community that stretches across both sides of I-25. RidgeGate has framed the broader expansion as thousands of new homes, civic uses and employment centers either completed or underway. The new Marketplace adds another commercial commitment to that growth, giving the area a grocery-anchored retail node that can serve multiple residential villages and mixed-use destinations.

City and development leaders have cast the project as a sign of confidence in Lone Tree’s market and a long-term investment in the city’s future. King Soopers public affairs chief Jessica Trowbridge said the store will expand access to fresh, affordable food and create new jobs. Lone Tree Mayor Marissa Harmon said the project reflects public-private partnership and investment in the city’s future vitality, while Coventry Development Corp. said it is an essential part of RidgeGate’s community-building work.
