Denver International Airport (DEN) is moving forward immediately to identify private sector resources to help build the necessary infrastructure for further development of the land surrounding the airport.
“DEN has successfully built several key developments, including the Westin Hotel and the Final Approach, with several more breaking ground in the coming months, but we want to accelerate our efforts, and we need the horizontal infrastructure, such as water and sewer lines, electrical, roads and fiber optic cable, in place to do so and to do so now,” DEN CEO Phil Washington said.
DEN is working with a financial firm to assist in determining financial needs, defining the terms of the Request for Proposals (RFP); interviewing the market to understand the landscape; and suggesting a structure for a financing deal. Their work is expected to take six to eight months to complete, at which point an RFP will be shared with the market and bids will be accepted.
DEN Real Estate, in collaboration with Greenwood CRE, will host a virtual Industry Day webinar on Thursday, November 13th. Real estate developers, investors, construction and infrastructure firms will have the opportunity to learn more about development opportunities at DEN and connect with leaders in commercial real estate and Aerotropolis development. Interested businesses in the infrastructure industry are encouraged to contact Ken Cope, Senior Vice President of DEN Real Estate Development, at ken.cope@flydenver.com.
