When Rhys Duggan and his partners were discussing plans to purchase the 62-acre property bounded by the South Platte River, Speer Boulevard, Interstate 25 and railroad tracks in central Denver, they called it by the code name “doughnut hole.”

Aside from Elitch Gardens Theme and Water Park, the site is mostly surface parking lots surrounded by hip, redeveloped neighborhoods like LoDo and Highland.
