Denver spends $1.8 million on half acre for National Western Center expansion

DENVER — To continue its expansion of the future National Western Center complex, the city purchased a half-acre site at 47th Avenue and Brighton Boulevard for $1.76 million.

The site, according to BusinessDen, included El Duranguense Grocery and was purchased from Elyria Investments, who in turn bought the land in 2009 for $300,000.

The National Western project has a budget of $856 million and will span over two campuses. The plan is to assemble the land as quickly as possible so that construction does not interrupt the National Western Stock Show.
