Sakura Square LLC

To our community, it is with profound gratitude that we are ready to share the next update on the future of the Sakura Square and Tri-State/Denver Buddhist Temple (TS/DBT) redevelopment project.

As we know, Sakura Square and the Temple continue to be a living testimony to the sacrifice and spirit it took the generations before us to emerge from that challenging period of time after World War ll. As to be expected, the aging buildings are reaching the end of their useful life.

In 2020, we engaged with 500+ community and redevelopment team members to help create the Vision for Sakura Square. After painstaking research, we're excited to announce we have identified development groups with a local track record and will be sensitive to the unique demands of this project. Agreements have not been signed so we can't announce them yet.
Please note that it was one of our foremost priorities to ensure that the construction of the new joint Temple and Community Center building will allow us to continue our religious services and beloved cultural events. When the project is completed, an even richer backdrop will enable expanded community programming. New and improved retail and office space will allow community neighbors to thrive.

We promise to continue updating you every step of the way. You may start to notice some signs around the property regarding our Certificate of Demolition Eligibility (CDE). There may also be some large machines drilling and workers on-site conducting tests for a short period of time. Please note that demolition and construction are still years away.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at Gary Yamash*ta at [email protected]. Questions related to the Temple can be sent to Chad Nitta, TS/DBT President, at [email protected]. Thank you, all!
