Come in through the Crate & Barrel entrance this fall and the first new thing you see is a Starbucks, listed as now open near Crate & Barrel. Out past the doors, the parking lots in front of the food court and Crate & Barrel had become an active HiFi construction site by September 2025, according to the Denver Gazette. FlatIron Crossing is changing on two separate schedules. Inside, the stores are turning over quickly. Outside, the bowling lanes, the sushi bar and the burger stand are still steel and fencing.
That gap matters to anyone who lives within a short drive of Interlocken. The mall has spent the past year adding places to shop. Almost nothing it has added gives you a new reason to stay after 6 p.m. Those places are coming in 2027, on the HiFi side, and that schedule has already moved once.
The Inside Half Is Already Restocked
Here is how the enclosed mall's new tenant list looks as of early October 2026, based on FlatIron Crossing's own What's New page.
| Store | Status | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Anthropologie | Open | Lower level, across from lululemon |
| Abercrombie & Fitch | Open | Lower level, next to Apple |
| gorjana | Open | Lower level, next to Abercrombie & Fitch |
| LEGO Store | Open | Lower level, near Apple |
| OFFLINE by Aerie | Open | Lower level, near GAP |
| Garage | Open | Lower level, next to Buckle |
| Gem Studio | Open | Upper level, near Old Navy |
| SweetPlay | Open | Upper level, near Old Navy |
| Earthbound Trading Company | Open | Upper level, next to Cotton On |
| Bubblelicious Milk Tea & Fruit Tea | Open | Upper level, near Lovesac |
| Starbucks | Open | Near Crate & Barrel |
| J.Crew Factory | Opening fall 2026 | Not yet listed |
| Levi's | Opening fall 2026 | Lower level, by Dick's Sporting Goods |
| Rowan | Opening fall 2026 | Lower level, next to Anthropologie |
| Warby Parker | Opening fall 2026 | Lower level, next to M.A.C Cosmetics |
Most of the lower level's new arrivals sit together. Anthropologie, Abercrombie & Fitch, gorjana and LEGO are all within a few doors of Apple and lululemon. Rowan will add to that cluster when it opens next to Anthropologie.
The wave started over a year ago. The mall's general manager told the Denver Gazette in September 2025 that Bath & Body Works had reopened in a renovated store, Victoria's Secret had grown to 7,600 square feet, lululemon had opened a permanent 5,000-square-foot store, and LEGO was arriving that month. Anthropologie was set to open October 1, 2025, and OFFLINE by Aerie on October 30, 2025. All of those are now listed as open.
Several of the New Tenants Sell an Activity
A good share of the recent additions are built around doing something in the store. Gem Studio runs guided silversmithing workshops where customers design and make their own jewelry. SweetPlay is a Candyland-themed play area with play structures and a carnival arcade. Rowan, a nurse-founded brand, offers ear piercing done by licensed nurses. Anthropologie describes its FlatIron store as having the biggest bridal and special-occasion shop in Colorado.
Those are daytime and weekend reasons to visit. They close with the mall, and regular hours are Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Individual stores and restaurants may keep different hours.
Dinner Is Still a Short List
For a sit-down meal inside the mall, the restaurant directory lists two options, P.F. Chang's and Red Robin. The food court covers quick meals with Auntie Anne's, Charleys Philly Steaks, Dairy Queen/Orange Julius, Green Leaf's/bananas, Kabora Afghan Cuisine, Sarku Japan, Street Burgers, Subway and Villa Fresh Italian Kitchen. Across Interlocken, the Omni Interlocken hotel lists Fairways, Trail & Trade, Thunderbird Poolside Bar & Grill, Shep's and The Camper as its dining options.
Every announced restaurant and entertainment tenant is on the HiFi side:
- Pindustry: bowling, arcade games, live music, food and drinks, next to AMC. Scheduled for spring 2027.
- Blue Sushi Sake Grill: the brand's first North Metro location, scheduled for 2027.
- Memoir, An American Grill: Colorado's first location, scheduled for 2027.
- Shake Shack: Broomfield's first location, scheduled for 2027.
ColoradoBiz reported on September 18, 2026, that Pindustry's structural steel is installed and that Blue Sushi Sake Grill, Memoir and Shake Shack are all under construction. All four are firsts for Broomfield, the North Metro or Colorado, and none of them can open until the outdoor district does.
What HiFi Replaces, and How Big It Gets
HiFi is a 25-acre mixed-use district at FlatIron Crossing. It is being built on surface parking and the former outdoor Village, next to the enclosed mall, which stays in place. The plan includes 347 apartments, 90,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, and 2.5 acres of public plazas. That 90,000 square feet holds all of the dining and entertainment described above, so the Village's evening role moves to a new footprint instead of coming back as it was.
The framework goes back several years. Broomfield City Council unanimously approved the original FlatIron redevelopment agreement on October 12, 2021, and the Daily Camera reported that it covered the former Village and the former Nordstrom property. Macerich says HiFi broke ground in summer 2024.
The apartments are moving fastest. NOVEL HiFi, a Crescent Communities project, has topped out. Connect CRE, citing the Denver Business Journal, reported on September 17, 2026, that the building is halfway through construction and will open in phases, starting with 45 units next summer.
The newest piece of the plan is a hotel. The same report describes a 150-room hotel with rooftop amenities, still unbranded, expected to open in fall 2028. Macerich plans to name the brand by the end of the year, and the hotel could bring the redevelopment's total cost to about $300 million. A few blocks away, the city is moving the other way. On February 24, 2026, Council approved converting the 151-room TownePlace Suites at 480 Flatiron Boulevard into 150 apartments.
The 2027 Dates Have Moved Before
Read every HiFi date as a schedule rather than a promise. In September 2025, Macerich told the Denver Gazette that the first phase had shifted from a 2026 target to the end of 2027, with some restaurants and Pindustry possibly opening earlier in 2027. Macerich's HiFi page now says phased openings begin in early 2027. The mall lists Pindustry for spring 2027 and the three restaurants for 2027 without a season.
Here is the published sequence in order:
- Fall 2026: J.Crew Factory, Levi's, Rowan and Warby Parker open inside the mall.
- Spring 2027: Pindustry.
- 2027, no season given: Blue Sushi Sake Grill, Memoir and Shake Shack.
- Summer 2027: The first NOVEL HiFi residents, DICK'S House of Sport, Vuori and 7th Avenue.
- Fall 2028: The hotel.
DICK'S House of Sport is the one tenant whose details don't match across sources. ColoradoBiz reported on June 11, 2026, that it would be about 130,000 square feet in the former Nordstrom space, opening in early 2027. The September 17 Connect CRE report describes a 160,000-square-foot store that replaces the mall's current DICK'S Sporting Goods and opens in summer 2027. The mall itself lists summer 2027 and has not posted a location. ColoradoBiz says it is expected to be the retailer's largest House of Sport in Colorado. Until a newer source settles it, the former Nordstrom building remains the main open question at the mall.
Between Now and the First HiFi Opening
The near-term calendar is about the inside of the mall. Santa's Arrival & Breakfast is set for Saturday, November 7, 2026, from 9:30 to 11 a.m. at the entrance by Crate & Barrel and Pottery Barn. The breakfast is free, includes entertainment and kids' activities, and needs no reservation. After that, Santa sits at the base of the Grand Staircase, where walk-ups are welcome until closing and timed reservations are available. As of today, the mall's event calendar shows no Halloween or tree-lighting listing and no holiday hours.
Three more tenants have signed leases inside the mall: Urban Outfitters, Fabletics and Sky Zone. The ColoradoBiz report gave no locations or opening dates for any of the three.
For the next several months, then, FlatIron Crossing is a mall with new storefronts, the same two sit-down restaurants, and a fenced construction site where its evening options used to be. Pindustry's spring 2027 date is the first scheduled opening that changes that.
