While no residential can be built on this airport land, through land leases a variety of commercial uses are available.” Washington explained that DEN issued a rolling request for offers (RF) from qualified developers, investors and users for commercial development through one or more long-term ground leases of up to 1,500 acres of the airport’s non-aviation land. The airport’s vision for development prioritizes seven districts with land uses based on acreage availability and airport proximity: Development-ready West Approach will serve millions of passengers and airport employees with a variety of hotels, services,
retail, restaurants and offices. The district is distinguished by exposure of 100,000 plus vehicle traffic daily on Peña Blvd. Aero-Industrial development will capitalize on proximity to airfields and the growing community of industrial development in this highly active area. Cargo, logistics, research and development and other markets will find ample room for expansion and enjoy ease of transport in this district. Second Creek features large acreages in a progressive district that caters to industrial and transformative sectors such as agribusiness, renewable energy and technology. The next- generation workforce will appreciate quick access to multiple commercial centers off Tower Road, and employers will benefit from a talented labor pool across many adjacent municipalities.
