of Colorado Springs. The
grant project, living under
the pseudonym of “City for
Champions,” is focused on
four projects: The United
States Olympic Museum,
Colorado Sports and Event
Center, UCCS Sports Medi-
cine and Performance Cen-
ter, and The U.S. Air Force
Academy Gateway Visitor
Center. These projects are
estimated to attract about
1.2 million visitors each year.
More hotels are planned to
accommodate.
While the Antlers Hotel
and the Mining Exchange
are established, qual-
ity hotels in downtown, a
10-story, 165-room hotel
is under construction on
Cascade Avenue and Bijou
Street. To the north, off
I-25, two competing hotels/
water parks are underway:
The Colorado Grand Hotel,
part of the Bass Pro devel-
opment at Polaris Point,
which boasts 400 rooms and
60,000-sf water park, and
Great Wolf Lodge with 311
rooms and a 65,000-sf water
park at Interquest.
The bottom line is the
retail market in the Pikes
Peak region is strong, and
it is an excellent time for
developers and tenants to
invest in the area. The back-
drop will continue to evolve
with positive developments
over the next 12 to 36
months.

For this market hall, we
employed a different organi-
zational strategy by featur-
ing a food counter with open
kitchen and bar at the cen-
ter of the space. Surrounding
this is a coffee shop, res-
taurants and unique retail
shops. Above, an additional
bar and seating area on the
mezzanine level is oriented
to view the skyline of down-
town Denver.
Designed to serve as the
social hub for the train sta-
tion, Zeppelin Station’s mar-
ket hall will cater not only
to its commercial tenants
but also to commuters along
the rail line. This market hall
embodies a continued com-
mitment to making spaces
that reflect the needs and
values of the surrounding
community and elevate the
urban living experience.
The market hall is not a
new idea – it has existed for
centuries – but the way that
we design market halls is
new. We focus on the neigh-
boring community, with the
goals and values of urban
residents interwoven into
our designs. We are passion-
ate about creating an enrich-
ing experience for each
visitor and to contribute to
the rich and vibrant fabric of
urban Denver.
