South Terminal complex to include 500-room hotel and retail
| Tweet |
Denver International Airport is moving ahead with a major expansion plan that would involve the construction of a signature rail bridge, a terminal train station, a 500-room hotel and conference center and a multi-function civic plaza complete with retail and concessions. The $650 million addition, designed by Spanish architect, engineer and artist Santiago Calatrava, would be located directly south of the existing Jeppesen Terminal and its signature white-tented roof.
“My goal in designing a train station adjacent to such an iconic structure as the Jeppesen Terminal has been to complement it with a design of independent identity and equal quality,” said Calatrava, who is also working on such high-profile projects as the World Trade Center Transportation Hub in New York and the Peace Bridge in Calgary. “It is my sincere hope that the vision expressed in this proposal not only respects and complements the existing architecture, but enables Denver International Airport to continue to serve as a landmark for centuries to come.”
Final financing and a timetable for beginning the expansion at the 15-year-old airport have not yet been finalized.
