Millennium Bridge

MAP

The signature icon for the Central Platte Valley, the Millennium Bridge is a 130-foot long, 80-foot wide cable-stayed pedestrian bridge that crosses the Consolidated Main Line (CML) railroad tracks and continues the 16th Street Mall into the Central Platte Valley.  The bridge features a 200-foot tall mast that tilts backwards and sideways, and with its stark white color and its nighttime illumination, the $9 million bridge is a new Denver landmark and a symbol of the city's vitality.

MCA-D

Denver's Museum of Contemporary Art functions as a kunsthalle, a non-collecting space that features ongoing art exhibits. Founded in 1996, MCA/D has been housed in leased space, but recently received a donation of land in the Valley for a permanent home.  After an international design competition, the Museum selected London architect David Adjaye.  The museum's grand opening took place October 28, 2007.

Gates Corp.

World HQ

MAP

Developed by Legacy Partners, this 10-story, 280,000 SF office building was built without any pre-leasing and was the first commercial building in the Central Platte Valley.  Fortunately for the developers, despite the worsening office market, the entire building was leased by the Gates Corporation, which was leaving their I-25 and Broadway home after a century and was in search for a new location in the Downtown area for their world headquarters.
