Redevelopment

Leading Denver in thoughtful and appropriate urban renewal

From preserving historic structures to addressing challenged areas, Denver Urban Renewal Authority (DURA) strives to steward a city-wide vision as Denver grows and changes. DURA’s involvement often ensures the inclusion of both affordable and workforce housing, as well as an investment in infrastructure, schools, community artwork and other public amenities. DURA redevelopment projects also provide enhanced opportunities for small businesses as well as employment and training for members of the community.

Featured Project

Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI)

Envisioned as a catalyst for development in the Central Platte Valley, REI chose the site for its visibility from the highway and downtown, regional access, historic character of the building and proximity to the river and bike paths. The high cost of historic preservation, life-safety upgrades and environmental remediation rendered the plan financially infeasible. DURA provided approximately $6.3 million in sales tax TIF reimbursement to REI to make the project possible.
