| DOWNTOWN DENVER’S ROLE IN THE METRO DENVER ECONOMY Downtown Denver is the center of the thriving Metro Denver and Colorado economies. Employment growth in Downtown Denver, the Metro Denver Region, and the State of Colorado is significantly higher than the national employment growth.
Amenities in Downtown Denver Add Vibrancy to Downtown LivingResidents in Downtown Denver are finding more and more amenities right at their front door, enhancing the downtown lifestyle and decreasing the need for residents to travel outside of downtown during the course of their days, nights and weekends. Two grocery stores, a flagship Whole Foods and King Soopers, are both under construction and scheduled to open within the next 24 months. Residents with families now have a new elementary school, the Downtown Denver Expeditionary School, with a middle school in the planning stages. Finally, Downtown Denver residents are a short walk or bike ride away from new restaurants in adjacent neighborhoods like Lower Highland, breweries that are locating in the River North district along Brighton Boulevard and the arts and culture district of the Golden Triangle.

• There are 30 on-street parking spots dedicated for carshare vehicles in Downtown Denver.

Growing Network of Public Spaces in Downtown DenverDowntown Denver welcomed a brand new public space at Denver Union Station with the completion of Wynkoop Plaza in July 2014. The 40,000 square foot public plaza is surrounded by restaurant patios, entrances to more than a dozen office buildings, stores and restaurants, making the plaza active with pedestrian traffic for a significant portion of the day. During the summer months, the plaza’s southern side offers a fountain that attracts children, as well as the young at heart, to cool-off and play in the water that jets out of the ground. The computer programmed fountain displays a variety of effects, shooting out bursts of water in constantly changing shape and timing patterns. The northern side of the plaza hosts a grove of trees and permanent seating, offering plenty of shade to users of the plaza. Continued investment in urban parks and public spaces is an integral component of propelling Denver forward as a world-class city with an economically healthy and vibrant Downtown. The Downtown Denver Partnership and the City of Denver are working on a cohesive master plan, Denver’s Outdoor Downtown: Turning Urban Spaces into Thriving Places. This plan will outline how Downtown parks and public spaces may be best utilized to serve a rapidly increasing population.
