AC Development received unanimous approval last month of the redevelopment plan and rezoning from the Golden City Council.
“We’re thrilled to start the next chapter in our family’s 130-year relationship with Golden on this site, and we intend to set the tone early for sustainability and innovation with our new headquarters,” CoorsTek CEO Michael Coors said in a written statement.
Owned by the Coors family since 1884, the multi-block site at Washington Avenue and Ninth Street had been in continuous use for industrial purposes for more than 100 years. CoorsTek, formerly Coors Porcelain, was founded on the property in 1910, and the site is the historical location of the invention of the aluminum beverage can, the company press statement said. Today, CoorsTek manufactures ceramics for numerous industries, including components for hip replacements and armor components for law enforcement and the military.
