WELCOME TO A
Being built on the site of Elitch Gardens Theme & Water Park, The River Mile offers all the advantages of a great established location: visibility, proximity and connectivity. It’s brand-new, yet seamlessly woven into the fabric of downtown Denver.
A NEW CENTER OF GRAVITY
The redevelopment of Denver’s Central Platte Valley began with the iconic Union Station. The River Mile is the natural next step. And it’s more than an important new piece of downtown Denver. It’s at the very heart of a whole new realignment of downtown Denver.
With plans emerging for two redeveloped entertainment districts centered around Ball Arena and Mile High Stadium, and with the new Auraria Campus Master Plan getting under way, the focus of energy is shifting west. And a location in The River Mile is a front-row seat to it all.
