The 23rd Rocky Mountain Real Estate Challenge Sets Its Sights on the Thornton Shopping Center Redevelopment Project DENVER, COLO. – Graduate students from the University of Denver and the University of Colorado are set to compete in the 23rd Rocky Mountain Real Estate Challenge, presented by Land Title Guarantee Company and NAIOP Colorado. This year, the Challenge spotlights the redevelopment of the historic 15.6-acre Thornton Shopping Center site. The event culminates with final project presentations on April 30, 2025. This year’s sponsor, the City of Thornton, seeks innovative and sustainable redevelopment proposals to transform the site into a mixed-use community hub. The project must balance retail, dining, social spaces, and limited residential use, delivering a vibrant, tax-generating destination that reflects the city's commitment to placemaking and economic revitalization. “The redevelopment of the Thornton Shopping Center represents an unparalleled opportunity to reinvigorate a cornerstone of our community,” said Jan Kulmann, Mayor of Thornton. “We are excited to see the innovative and impactful ideas these students will bring to the table as we strive to create a space that serves our residents and strengthens our economy.” READ MORE Save the Date!
