Denver International (DEN) unveiled a revised design concept for its South Terminal Redevelopment Program.
The program is comprised of independent yet physically integrated projects such as a 500-room Westin hotel, a RTD FasTracks commuter rail station, improvements an open-air plaza with new concessions and leasable space. Design changes include:
· A reduction in the overall square footage of the Program;
· A reduction in the size of the train station and the amount of structural steel planned for that project;
· The train station platform canopy has been extended and its shape and look-and-feel have been revised;
· The hotel will be one floor shorter than the original and has a more efficient design;
· The current design will be built to meet a $500 million budget, rather than the original estimated cost of $650 million.
Construction on the redevelopment program has already begun and is expected to create nearly 1,000 jobs and generate approximately $2M in annual tax revenues for the City and County of Denver’s General Fund.
