DENVER-Two of the four teams this week say they have dropped out of the $1-billion plan for the redevelopment of Denver Union Station , leaving two final teams. The two teams withdrawing from the developer selection process are Denver Crossroads Developers and Forest City.
Denver Crossroads is headed by Phelps Development, the development arm of Hensel Phelps, based in Greeley, and one of the largest general contractors based in the state. That team also included Denver developer Bill Mosher and Trammell Crow. The second drop out, Forest City, is currently developing Stapleton, among other large projects in the Denver area.
“Forest City did not say anything in writing, but clearly they have got a lot of other big projects going on,” Liz Orr, head of the selection team for the development, tells GlobeSt.com. “The same thing is true with Denver Crossroads. They said in a letter that they had to make a resource-allocation decision.”
