Ryan Cos. has proposed a four-building warehouse campus at the 50.5-acre General Shale site at 3003 S. Platte River Drive in Denver. Connect CRE’s October 14 report cites earlier Denver Business Journal coverage of the filing.
This is proposed redevelopment. The filing does not establish approval, a construction start or completed supply, and the available reporting does not verify whether existing structures would be reused.
The source’s reported total floor area does not reconcile with its listed building areas. We therefore omit a precise floor-area total and any derived ground-coverage ratio. The cause of the discrepancy is unresolved.
For occupiers and investors, another proposed supply addition is worth tracking alongside entitlement status, tenant commitments and a construction schedule. Environmental due diligence is a reasonable question on an industrial site; the reporting does not establish contamination.
Budget, start and completion dates, tenants and environmental findings were not reported. Their absence from the article does not prove that no project budget or schedule exists.
Key Takeaways
- Ryan’s filing is a proposed redevelopment, not confirmed arriving supply.
- Published area figures are inconsistent; no precise total or site-coverage calculation is used here.
- Approval, financing, budget, tenants, construction timing and environmental findings remain to be established.
