Plans are actively underway for a high-end steakhouse to become one of the project’s flagship attractions. This venue is envisioned as a destination dining experience featuring:
A refined, modern design and premium menu
Ample indoor and patio seating
Private dining and event options
A focus on attracting both local residents and visitors from surrounding areas
This addition will not only elevate the mixed-use development’s profile but also drive consistent traffic to adjacent businesses, enhancing long-term property value and creating a vibrant hub of activity.
A high-end steakhouse is in the works for the Tri-Town area, meeting a major local demand with the nearest option 40 minutes away.
This 31-acre site is zoned mixed-use. Ideal for an event center, church, or indoor sports facility in the heart of Frederick, Firestone, and Dacono. Its central location makes it walkable, highly visible, and surrounded by schools, parks, and growing neighborhoods.
All concepts shown are preliminary and subject to municipal approvals. Final site plan, utilities, and zoning requirements to be confirmed through the appropriate authorities.

Dacono: Nearly 8,000 homes planned, with communities like Strata already breaking ground.
