Former Arrow Building Under Demolition
In recent weeks, drivers likely noticed the demolition activity at 9201 E. Dry Creek, the former Arrow Electronics headquarters near the Dry Creek/I-25 interchange. The no longer existing four story office building is in the process of being demolished by the new property owner, who purchased the property in 2024. The City is currently reviewing a development application for a multi-family development at the site.
National and local trends are impacting office spaces across the country and within Centennial. The City is proactively working to ensure that Midtown Centennial emerges as a destination location for businesses, residents, employers and developers by focusing on parks, trails and public spaces.
