Stapleton Control Tower
The old airport control tower is Central Park's landmark and the reminder that the whole neighborhood sits on the former Stapleton International Airport site.
Central Park, formerly Stapleton, is Denver's largest residential neighborhood, and its first-generation systems are all coming due at once. We work the post-2000 master-planned homes on the old airport site, where a 20-year-old furnace and AC are aging out together under HOA design review. Call (720) 806-7634 and tell us what your system is doing.

Just practical help.Central Park is Denver's newest large neighborhood — a master-planned community on the former Stapleton airport site, most homes built between 2002 and 2019. The story here is first replacement: furnace, AC and water heater all aging out together, under master-association design review, in a house with a finished basement and an alley garage.
The first HVAC replacement wave is the whole story here. These are the three decisions we make most.
Central Park is the one neighborhood where the housing is uniformly new enough that the story is first-generation system replacement, not retrofit. Furnace, AC and water heater all age out together at 20-plus years.
How we help: We look at the whole system when we visit, so a replacement plan covers the furnace and the AC together where both are at end of life, and we talk through phased replacement where it makes sense.
Every home pays a master community association assessment, and most also pay metro-district taxes, with layered master and sub-associations. Covenants and design review restrict exterior changes and visible exterior HVAC equipment.
How we help: We confirm the specific sub-association's rules before planning condenser placement, so an approval question does not surface after the equipment is ordered.
Many Central Park homes have finished basements under attached garages, and alley-loaded garages mean the furnace and duct layout differs from a front-garage ranch. The house has three zones to serve, not two.
How we help: We size for the basement, main and upper levels together, and we check whether the original system can still serve the finished basement properly.

Central Park is the neighborhood on the old airport, and the control tower is its landmark. We use the sub-neighborhoods and the parks as orientation points, and the open airfield as the exposure that shapes every load.

The neighborhood's namesake park anchors the community and is the green center we use to split routes between the sub-neighborhoods.
Bluff Lake is one of the twelve sub-neighborhoods and the natural area we use to orient on the neighborhood's eastern blocks.
East 29th Avenue is the main east-west corridor through Central Park and our route in from the central Denver side.
These are the blocks and corridors we serve most often in Central Park. Nearby areas may also qualify—call if you do not see yours.

Call (720) 806-7634 →First-generation systems on early-2000s Central Park homes are now reaching replacement age, and furnace, AC and water heater often age out together. The whole system gets looked at on a visit, so the timing can be planned instead of decided by a breakdown.
Every home pays a master community association assessment, and many properties have layered master and sub-associations. Covenants and design review govern visible exterior equipment, so the sub-association's rules get confirmed before placement is planned.
Often it makes sense to plan them together, since they were installed together and are aging out together. Phased replacement works where it makes sense, and a combined plan works where both are at end of life — the visit is where the timing gets decided.
Yes. Central Park was renamed from Stapleton in August 2020. Many residents and sources still say Stapleton, and the old control tower is the landmark left over from the airport days.
