OZ Architecture has been selected to lead the master-planning effort for the new
World Trade Center (WTC) Denver global campus in RiNo.
The project will serve as a major catalyst for the area, creating a mixed-use, transit-oriented urban community expected to elevate Denver's profile on an international level.
OZ assisted WTC Denver with the visioning for the project and is developing the master plan for the campus, which will be anchored by a hotel. The development also will include about 250,000 square feet of office space for both large and small businesses from around the world, an international business and conference center, a flex-work environment, an array of multicultural restaurants, diverse retail, an art gallery and a parking structure.
"We're able to combine the collective knowledge of OZ Architecture's diverse workplace, hospitality, urban living, retail/restaurant and cultural practices to develop the new World Trade Center Denver campus," says Rick Petersen, OZ principal. "To date, OZ has been instrumental in the design of more than 20 projects in RiNo and has played a key role in reinvigorating what has become one of Denver's most dynamic neighborhoods."
The WTC Denver campus is expected to break ground next year, with the first phase completed in 2019.
