Coors Family Golden redevelopment project called Clayworks

Coors Family Getting Serious About Redeveloping Old Golden CoorsTek Site

They’re going to call it Clayworks. It’s the new brand for the planned mixed-use district in downtown Golden previously known as the CoorsTek 9th Street Redevelopment. The $900 million project, located on a 12.4-acre site at 600 Ninth St. and taking up five city blocks, soon will bring 1.25 million square feet of new office, residential, retail and hotel space to downtown Golden. Construction on the project’s first phase will start later this year. AC Development, a privately-owned real estate company launched in 2020 by the Coors Family, is leading the project.

Clayworks is a name inspired by the history of ceramics innovation and production on the site, which was purchased by the Coors Family in 1886 for use initially as a glass works to support their nearby growing brewery. In 1910, the property became home to a new porcelain company (later to become CoorsTek), which was located here because of the area’s naturally occurring high-quality clay deposits that produced first-rate ceramics.
