ULI NEXT Tour
Before the redevelopment and revitalization of the Denver Union Station District, the Central Platte Valley was home to vast railroad switching yards. As the tracks were consolidated, it opened up the catalytic opportunity to redevelop near the historical birthplace of Denver. This tour will start at Millenium Bridge, which opened in 2002, with East West Partners and explore the real estate development at Riverfront Park. The tour will continue to Union Station where Continuum will share its experience developing in the area, specifically the Limelight Hotel and Tavernetta. Tour participants will also hear about the modern-day operations of passenger rail and the underground bus station. The tour will end in the Terminal Bar, just as it opens, for an optional drink.
It should be noted that this will be a walking tour. Participants will walk from the Colorado Convention Center to the free 16th Street Mall bus service that goes the length of the 16th Street, which is currently being revitalized. After getting off the bus, participants will be walking from Union Station to Millenium Bridge and back to Union Station. After the completion of the tour, the participants can take the free 16th Street Mall bus back to the Colorado Convention Center.
