TOD Banks On Offices, Not Housing
Developers for a new 35-acre mixed use TOD at the end of Denver's new light rail line are hoping to succeed with more office space than is typically used.
The proposed $700 million dollar development hopes to rein in tenants with its energy efficiency and proximity to the new light rail station.
"More than 2 million square feet of office space, 2,000 residential units and 50,000 square feet of retail are allowed on the site in unincorporated Douglas County."
What sets this transit oriented development apart from other TODs is its inclusion of more office space than housing or retail.
"One of the developers said he thinks it could serve as a model for a transit-oriented development that is anchored by offices rather than by residential or retail, as with other TODs."
