In early 2016, World Trade Center Denver announced ambitious plans to build a new campus in Denver’s booming River North district. More recently, WTC Denver and their development team released some exciting details about the first phase (of three) of their new campus planned for a prominent site adjacent to RTD’s 38th and Blake transit station. For many years, Denver’s World Trade Center was located at 16th and Broadway in Upper Downtown and recently moved to the Clayton neighborhood while plans for its new RiNo campus take shape. In the image below we’ve outlined the location of WTC Denver’s three phases.

Phase 1 of the new WTC Denver campus in River North is envisioned to include around 200,000 square feet of corporate office space, 50,000 square feet of co-working space, a 20,000 square foot conference center, 30,000 square feet of restaurant/retail space, and a 200-room hotel. These uses would be housed in two towers in the 8-12 story range above two levels of underground parking. Here are conceptual massing and stacking diagrams for Phase 1.
