MEQ 與 AECOM Capital 宣布 VF 公司在丹佛北河藝術區 VARIO 租賃場地

DENVER (January 31, 2020) – Mass Equities, Inc. (MEQ), a private equity real estate investment firm based in Santa Monica, CA, and AECOM Capital, the investment arm of AECOM, announced today that VF Corporation, one of the world’s largest apparel, footwear and accessories companies, has leased space at VARIO, the partnership’s premier development project on a 7.8-acre site on Brighton Boulevard in Denver’s River North Art District (RiNo). The location will serve as VF’s satellite office and will be utilized for product testing and innovation, quality assurance, customer showrooms and a photo studio for the six Denver-based brands, as well as the VF Global Innovation Center.

“Located close to what will be our main offices on Wewatta, the Denver Lab will be a valuable and vibrant hub for our innovation initiatives and for interacting with our retail partners,” said Craig Hodges, VF’s Vice President of Corporate Affairs and Communications. “We were fortunate to find such a compelling space in another thriving Denver neighborhood. We look forward to being part of the RiNo community.”

MEQ and AECOM Capital continue to re-imagine and expand the existing 68,000-square-foot building at 3060 Brighton Boulevard into a state-of-the-art creative office building, taking advantage of the soaring and dramatic ceiling heights. The facility and incoming tenants are aligned with the spirit and energy of the RiNo neighborhood where there is a high concentration of entrepreneurial, creative and innovative businesses.

“We are very excited about VF’s satellite office coming to VARIO,” said Brian Bair, MEQ principal and senior VP, Acquisitions & Development for Colorado.

MEQ Founder Andrew (Drew) Sobel added, “VF is the perfect fit for this adaptive re-use portion of our project as they share our vision for creating a space that embraces the spirit and authenticity of RiNo.”

VF’s Denver Lab facility will be home to approximately 50 associates and will be operational in the Fall of 2020.
