Graduate students from the University of Denver and the University of Colorado will compete in the 23rd Rocky Mountain Real Estate Challenge, presented by Land Title Guarantee Company and NAIOP Colorado. This year’s competition focuses on redeveloping the historic 15.6-acre Thornton Shopping Center into a sustainable, mixed-use community hub. Final project presentations will take place on April 30, 2025.
