Douglas County is currently seeking information from entities interested in partnering in the new Zebulon Regional Sports Complex, to be located on approximately 44-55 acres of property in Douglas County, Colorado. Sterling Ranch and Sterling Ranch Development Company (Owner of surrounding land and developers of the adjacent Master Planned Community) are in the final stages of making the land available to Douglas County for the Zebulon project.
Following community input, Douglas County is embarking on a journey to provide much-needed space for youth sports. The new regional complex is envisioned to be a central hub for youth and adult activities. The complex is proposed to include spaces that support opportunities for competition and training in activities such as basketball, volleyball, baseball/softball, football, soccer, and hockey. The program details will continue to be determined jointly through collaboration with the county and the community.
The project will be in Northwest Douglas County and is intended to include different athletic facilities to meet the recreational sports needs of the County’s residents in alignment with the Investment and Public Engagement Strategy for the Parks, Trails, Historic Resources and Open Space Fund. The proposed site is 4 miles south of C-470, offering connectivity and accessibility.
The purpose of this Request for Expression of Interest (RFEI) is to identify equity partners and other entities interested in the Zebulon Regional Sports Complex.
The County welcomes letters of interest (LOI’s) from all industry partners/entities interested in partnering in any aspect of the process, including its design, construction, programming, operations or maintenance; or from potential lessees and partners interested in leasing, operating or partnering on any component of the athletic facilities to be located at the future Zebulon Regional Sports Complex.
The objective of inviting this RFEI is to elicit feedback from potential equity partners to advance the project through all phases, as well as entities interested in potential future operations. A database of submitting entities will be created and included as a project resource to Douglas County to assist in providing for the best project outcome.
This RFEI will NOT result in any contract or award from Douglas County. The information gathered may be used for a future RFQ/P. This RFEI is for planning and evaluation purposes only. A separate RFQ/P for design-build construction of the complex will also be distributed.
The Zebulon Regional Sports Complex aims to become a cornerstone of youth and adult athletics in Douglas County and the Rocky Mountain region. The facility will promote accessibility, excellence, and leadership through sports while offering a welcoming, safe, and state-of-the-art environment for training, tournaments, and community engagement.
