Lone Tree City Center station is a light rail station in Lone Tree, Colorado, part of the RTD system in Denver. It is served by three lines: the E Line to Union Station, the F Line to Downtown Denver, and the R Line to Aurora.[3] The station consists of two side platforms located adjacent to the interchange of Interstate 25 and RidgeGate Parkway. It also has a 1,300-stall parking garage and bicycle facilities.[4] Construction on the 2.3-mile (3.7 km) extension to Lone Tree began in 2016 and cost $223 million, encompassing three stations—Lone Tree City Center, RidgeGate, and Sky Ridge.[3] It opened on May 17, 2019.[5]

The station sits in a greenfield plot that is planned to host a transit-oriented development that is connected between the three stations. The 400-acre (160 ha) Lone Tree City Center, for which the station is named, is planned to include 10,000 homes, office space, and parks.[6] The development project was approved in 2018 and is planned to take decades to finish.[7]
