72nd & Himalaya
Positioned for Mixed-Uses
At 250 acres, 72nd & Himalaya represents one of the largest development opportunities within The Districts at DEN. Positioned near the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center, the District offers exceptional visibility from Peña Boulevard and E-470, placing future development along two key regional transportation corridors.
The District is envisioned as a mixed-use destination with opportunities for smart manufacturing and more. A potential future rail stop at 72nd & Himalaya would further strengthen the District’s regional connectivity and support its long-term development potential.
Potential Uses
72nd & Himalaya offers the scale and location to accommodate a diverse mix of uses. The District has been identified for opportunities spanning from retail to recreational, creating flexibility for projects that can take advantage of its regional visibility and strategic location.
Request for Offers (RFO) Process
All DEN Airport City opportunities are available through a rolling Request for Offers (RFO), with no specific submission deadline. DEN Real Estate expects to keep the opportunity open for several years, providing interested parties with ample time to develop and propose ideas for commercial development at DEN. DEN reserves the right to close the RFO at any time.
Submission of Offers
The DEN Contract Administrator initially reviews the submitted offer for responsiveness before forwarding it to DEN’s commercial broker for market viability evaluation. If both criteria are satisfied, the offer is then submitted to the DEN Real Estate Screening Committee.
DEN Real Estate Evaluation Committee
The SVP of Real Estate presents the offer to 3-5 committee members. They will either reject it or engage the offeror to discuss the proposal and lease terms. Rejected offers receive a letter; accepted offers move to LOI discussions.
Letter of Intent
The opportunity is refined, and site conditions are confirmed to be suitable for the proposed development. Business terms are outlined, including relevant City social ordinance requirements.
Final Lease Negotiations, Community Outreach
An agreement is reached on business terms, lease boundaries, and social ordinance requirements (including ACDBE, if applicable). DEN Government Affairs updates Registered Neighborhood Organizations and the Council Member Town Hall on the proposed sites, while the proposer finalizes the EDI plan with DSBO.
Execution of Lease
DEN and the offeror sign the lease contract, which is then presented to the Denver City Council for consideration. The contract is executed upon approval.
