Some of that land is near Union Station, a new 20-acre transit hub that Union Station Neighborhood Co., an East West joint venture involving Continuum Partners, is redeveloping in a public-private endeavor. <\/p>\n<p>East West and Starwood have not yet announced specific plans for the LoDo neighborhood, but the area is primed for an expansion of offerings. &#8220;LoDo has been a pretty hot market for close to 25 years,&#8221; Michael Leccese, executive director of the Urban Land Institute Colorado, told Commercial Property Executive. &#8220;It got colonized by artists, and people with money followed. More recently there&#8217;s some adjacent development, one is an area called Riverfront, for which East West is the master developer. It&#8217;s done incredibly well and it&#8217;s kind of shifted the center of gravity for central Denver a little bit more toward LoDo. People are really drawn to that area. It&#8217;s attracted so many people that it has also attracted commercial development, so there have been a couple of office buildings in LoDo that have done well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With the emergence of the nearby Union Station redevelopment, as well as the existence of other popular destinations like the Coors Field baseball stadium, LoDo&#8217;s allure is only growing. &#8220;It&#8217;s starting to attract not just residential, but office and other types of commercial, so I can see why East West would want to partner with Starwood and invest there. Certainly, it continues to be a vibrant area, and I think its prospects for the future are very good because a lot of the infrastructure and transit improvements will continue to bring people in and funnel people through.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But LoDo is just the beginning for the East West-Starwood joint venture. &#8220;With Starwood Capital Group as our partner we now have the financial capability to begin new development in downtown Denver and expand to other select national markets,&#8221; Mark Smith, president of East West, said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s a renaissance underway in downtown Denver and East West Partners and Starwood Capital Group are doing their part with the establishment of a joint venture that will focus on advancing the area&#8217;s revitalization.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1201,"featured_media":1004031606,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21808,21742,15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004031605","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-latest","category-west"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
