Greenberg Traurig Advises Denver Summit FC on Stadium Development
Law firm Greenberg Traurig has represented Denver Summit FC in the development of the club's new stadium and training center, encompassing both interim and permanent facilities.
Global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP has represented Denver Summit FC, Colorado's National Women's Soccer League franchise, in the development of its training facility and interim stadium in Centennial. The firm continues to advise the club on the development of its permanent home stadium and adjacent mixed-use district in Denver's Santa Fe Yards area.
The interim stadium hosted its first match on July 18, following the earlier debut of the club's training facility. Greenberg Traurig, led by Real Estate Shareholders Kevin H. Kelley and Andrea Austin, handled land use, development, and public-private partnership agreements, as well as other real estate matters.
The firm negotiated agreements with the Cherry Creek School District as part of a public-private partnership. This includes the interim stadium, the club's practice fields, fields shared with the school district, and a community benefits agreement promoting initiatives in education and health and wellness.
Greenberg Traurig previously represented Summit in securing Denver City Council approvals for the club's permanent stadium in Santa Fe Yards last year. This involved rezoning and related agreements supporting the project and its financing structure. The firm continues to advise on matters related to the permanent stadium's construction, the adjacent mixed-use district, and construction financing. Sitework for the permanent stadium is expected to begin later this year.
