Recognizing that the River North is one of the hippest spots in Denver, the Colorado chapter of the
National Association of Industrial and Office Properties has selected a site in the district for this year's
Rocky Mountain Real Estate Challenge.
The 14-acre site of the Midtown Industrial Center will be analyzed by student teams from the University of Colorado and University of Denver, who will present their plans for the evolving area at a dinner from 5 to 8 p.m. on May 7 at the
Hyatt Regency Denver at the Colorado Convention Center.
The Rocky Mountain Real Estate Challenge is an annual event designed as a learning tool for students in the universities' graduate real estate programs and the Denver business community. A property is selected to serve as the competition site.
Each school forms multiple student teams charged with creating a vision for the property, conducting market research on uses for the property and working with a local architectural firm to help them in the project's design. Finalists from each school are judged by a group of real estate professionals the day of the event.
The Midtown Industrial Center on Brighton Boulevard offers unique opportunities for development and place-making in an edgy area that is home to art galleries, restaurants, bars and breweries. The site is owned by the
Westfield Company.
