It is time for a toast everyone. This past week RTD broke ground on the rail lines that will carry future passengers from Denver International Airport to Union Station here in Downtown Denver.
Here is the excerpt from the RTD website…
Six excavators tore into the ground as dignitaries looked on to mark the groundbreaking of the East Corridor Commuter Rail line to DIA on Thursday, Aug. 26. This ceremonial event marks the beginning of a six year project that will connect the Denver Union Station to the Denver International Airport.
What does this mean for Denver? It means the start of what may be one of the biggest projects for the Downtown Denver and Riverfront Park neighborhoods. The connection between DIA and the new Union Station Neighborhood will take six years. What will likely happen over those six years is the exciting part. In those six years the Union Station Neighborhood and the surrounding areas are expected to grow with restaurants, shops, condominiums, and architectural amenities to create a welcome point. The Union Station transit hub is expected to be busy with the energy of Downtown Denver workers, shoppers, and travelers enjoying our great city. With more foot traffic comes more services and businesses to cater to these new individuals.
So we have many reasons to be excited. All of us at New Era Realty (and our clients) look forward to the downtown Denver lifestyle that will allow for a train ride to catch our work or vacation flights. We look forward to never again driving in traffic out to DIA, battling for parking spaces, and paying almost as much on parking as we did on our flight. We instead look forward to kicking back on the train, perhaps reading our travel guide for our vacation destination or just relaxing with the daily paper. We look forward to looking out at the snow covered roads from the safety of our train car as we try to remember if we packed our sunscreen for whatever sunny destination we might be heading for to take a mid winter break. All of these benefits we have to wait until 2016 for.
But before that happens we look forward to the preparation for when that first train pulls in. Over the next six months as the neighborhood develops the residents in Riverfront Park, the Lower Highlands and Downtown Denver get a whole new variety of places to explore. New restaurant openings, new shops, and of course great new architecture and street design for shared city spaces. Now is a terrific time to learn more about owning in these developing Downtown neighborhoods. One of our favorites, Glass House, will have a panoramic view on the Union Station Neighborhood growth.
