ULC celebrates Bike to Work Day with a very special presentation!
 

Bike to Work Day was very memorable for ULC this year.  We hosted a celebration at the Phillips Center with friends, bike commuters and community members with a special presentation honoring the late councilwoman Carla Madison.  Phillips Center is now home to a bright orange bike rack and a plaque in Carla’s honor.Read more about the unveiling and check out event photos on our Facebook page.

ULC was honored to be a part of RTD’s final groundbreaking on the West Line.  Debra Bustos, ULC’s Director of Real Estate spoke at the event along with Mayor Hancock and RTD General Manager Phil Washington about the importance of this station and how it will shape the community.
The structure will be 5 levels with over 800 parking spaces and will be constructed using sustainable practices.  Swinerton Builders was selected by RTD to both design and construct the parking structure scheduled to open with the West Rail Line in April 2013.

Good Luck in Grad School Josh Burdick!

 ULC Development Team member Josh Burdick is leaving ULC to pursue a Masters Degree at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.  Although we are sad he is leaving, we are so excited for the opportunities in his future!  Josh will be sorely missed and we wish him all the best as he earns his MBA with a focus in Real Estate and Finance.

“My goal upon completing my MBA is to work in real estate deal creation and investment fund development at a socially entrepreneurial organization,” said Josh.  We are looking forward to seeing his continued work at the intersection of public and private interests around real estate in the long term (keeping our fingers crossed that he will come back to the Denver area!).
