GSA Sells Vacant Parcel at the Denver Federal Center
DENVER -- The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announces the transfer of deed/title following the sale of the 59-acre parcel of vacant land, known as Federal Center Station, located at the Denver Federal Center (DFC) in Lakewood, Colorado via a sealed bid process.
A winning bid of $30.01 million was received for the parcel, which is zoned M-C-T (Mixed Core Transit), in addition to vested rights under a 2007 Official Development Plan. The property has been transferred to Lakewood Land Partners, LP.
The parcel fronts the southside of West 6th Avenue and is east of Union Boulevard. RTD’s Federal Center Station bus stops and Park-n-Ride lot adjoin the property to the south, which is just across West 2nd Place from St. Anthony Hospital.
Selling this property supports GSA’s goal of reducing the federal government’s real estate footprint. It is one of the largest properties for sale in the City of Lakewood since the 2007 transaction that led to the development of St. Anthony Hospital and the West Corridor Light Rail Line.
“We hope the sale of this property will provide a spark of energy for the City of Lakewood by transforming underutilized federal real estate into a transit-oriented development that will spur economic growth,” said Tanisha Palermo, GSA Regional Commissioner for the Public Buildings Service. “We envision this will benefit the community in the same way as the 2007 land sale that led to the development of a regional hospital and transportation district.”
