Sakura Square Redevelopment Project

planned

Sakura Square in Denver's historic Japantown seeks $30 million from the Denver Downtown Development Authority to redevelop the 1900 block of Larimer Street. The project includes building a new temple and cultural community center around the outdoor plaza, encompassing 46,500 square feet of improvements. It aims to preserve longstanding cultural assets, provide space for the Tri-State/Denver Buddhist Temple, retail spaces, community spaces, and classrooms, and enhance downtown's vibrancy and cultural identity.
