CREW Denver Names IKEA Team as 2011 Women of Influence
CREW Denver’s 12th Annual Women of Influence awards luncheon was held on October 18th at the Ritz-Carlton, Denver. This year, CREW Denver is excited to honor commercial real estate projects where a woman or a team of women have played a significant role in the success of any and all aspects of the project.
There were twelve nominated commercial real estate projects including:
- 1099 Osage Apartments
- Apartments at Yale Station
- DaVita Headquarters
- Denver Health Pavilion M
- Denver Museum of Nature and Science Education
- and Collections Facility
- Denver Union Station Transit Project
- IKEA Centennial
- Lakeside Center
- Metro State College of Denver Student Success Building
- South Academy Station
- Renaissance Denver Downtown/City Center Hotel by Marriott
- The Denver Hospice
All twelve of the projects nominated are fabulous projects with equally spectacular women getting them done. From the twelve projects there were over 140 women nominated that contributed in some fashion. The three finalists included:
- Denver Museum of Nature and Science Education and Collections Facility
- IKEA Centennial
- Denver Union Station Transit Project
The winner of this year’s CREW Denver Women of Influence Award went to:
IKEA Centennial
IKEA Centennial is a completed super-regional destination store with 415,000 square feet of retail space on top of a two-level parking structure with space for nearly 1,500 vehicles. IKEA Centennial presents 10,000 exclusively designed items, three model home interiors, 47 room settings, a supervised children’s play area, a 550-seat restaurant serving Swedish specialties such as meatballs with lingonberries and salmon plates, as well as American dishes. The IKEA Centennial project faced many challenges from its outset, including a world-wide recession at the announcement of its plans, a complex entitlement process and a small site requiring infrastructure efficiency to house the second largest IKEA in the United States. Along the way, the project created more than 500 construction-related jobs. The store itself created more than 400 permanent retail and management positions and generated excitement for neighboring properties.
