What is comical is our expectations for the future back then... I thought by 2015 we would have flying cars and fusion reactors. But hey at least we can render a round building with realism now!

But I bet we never thought we would have the history of our cities shown to us in giant television screens in our 102 story elevators though!

Couple of negative pieces from the Denver Business Journal. Mark Harden writes about the state losing 3,900 jobs in March and Cathy Proctor writes about Linn Energy retreating to Houston along with 52 jobs. Not a big hit but Linn had previously bought out Denver based Berry Petroleum. Oh well.

I suspect neither comes as a big surprise and the impact appears marginal.

On the positive side of things:
"Majestic Realty plans sizable industrial development in Aurora"
Apr 21, 2015 by Molly Armbrister, Denver Business Journal

Quote:

"We've taken a very close look at local and national market conditions, vacancy and absorption rates, product supply and the success we've had providing large, high-quality, high-cube industrial space that is the best in the market," said Randy Hertel, executive vice president and director of development at Majestic Realty.

"We're excited about the opportunity to continue that momentum in our park and we strongly believe that now is the time to bring the space to the market in anticipation of our growth late this year and into 2016," he added.

Off I-70 and Tower, while not directly impacting Denver/downtown this is a positive vote for the metro economy going forward.

I can recall many moths ago wondering if this project might not be delayed a bit. Wonderful to see it's Full Speed ahead.

lumos · #**3709** Posted **Apr 21, 2015, 7:28 PM**

If I read RTD's update yesterday correctly they will be announcing the East Rail Line's opening only 6 months beforehand, and that they expect that announcement to be at the end of the year. If that is true then we should be anticipating a June launch.

The Dirt · #**3710** Posted **Apr 21, 2015, 8:27 PM**

Crap. I thought that they were ahead of schedule and that they were always shooting for a January 2016 launch. The R (for AuRRRoRRRa) line would open in mid 2016.

PS: this belongs in the transportation thread.

Unless.... There's another mod out there who can move it over as well...

Here's a page from our marketing material for the project (I work for Zeppelin). We're trying to focus on the snow and cycling industries, but really any active sports industries will be a great fit.

No, Ryan, you're the fun mod who posts pretty pictures. Let Dan handle all of the disciplining.

So a groundbreaking and also some groundbreaking news:

I am so sorry. As punishment I will go and look at some tall buildings downtown in earth tones. I believe that palette is represented.

Let's talk about the Zoo.

Quote:

The Denver Zoo's long-term building plan, calling for 32 new buildings and significant changes to the visitor experience over the next two decades, won approval Monday night from the City Council.

Many of those new structures will replace existing buildings on the zoo's 80-acre campus in City Park as part of a new master plan for the next 15 to 20 years. Council approval was required up front for 26 potential buildings that exceed certain size thresholds, but the zoo hasn't raised money for most of them yet.

Is anyone really worried about this cannibalizing THAT much? It's ugly, giant, WAY removed from anything else..or in other words exactly what you'd expect Aurora to fall head over heals for.

At first I agreed with all the hotels suing to stop the incentives (because Pueblo deserves all the money more!), but in looking into some of the articles Takefive and others have posted it seems like people who hold things at Gaylord hold things at Gaylord. I'm sure it will take SOME business, but it seems more like adding a circuit party stop to Denver - in that I doubt anyone at a gaylord or a circuit party has any clue what city their in - just that they're at the next stop at their brand. It's not going to add much to anywhere except more Auroraness to Aurora. And in the end, it may be handy for Denver or other cities to have a giant gaudy reason to point out that it's obvious Aurora is lying whenever they claim to want sustainable, urban development and associated accouterments (such as transit, for example), should the need ever arise.

I know I'll stay there ALL the time.. there certainly isn't anything else to do in Colorado besides not leaving the airport area from a landlocked cruise ship.
