Amy Cara

Biography: Amy is always looking for ways to connect people with the places they live and work. She is spearheading the new Cherry Creek West development, a 1.5 million square feet mixed-use redevelopment. This team master planned and developed the Denver Union Station transit hub redevelopment and much of the adjacent residential and office including The Coloradan and 16 Chestnut. She also oversaw the revitalization of The Landmark, a distressed mixed-use community that needed new eyes and perspective. Prior to this, Amy helped to create the Riverfront Park community in Denver. More than a collection of buildings, each of these communities represents something important to Amy - creating a sense of place. Amy is deeply committed to the community. She is a trustee for the Bonfils-Stanton Foundation, and on the boards of Habitat for Humanity, the Denver Metro Chamber’s EDC, Downtown Denver Partnership’s Management Committee, the University of Colorado Real Estate Center’s International Advisory Board, and on Urban Land Institute’s Mixed-Use Council. Additionally, Amy is a founding board member for the Riverfront Park Community Foundation, and a founding board member and current chair of Union Hall, a new model to support local and emerging artists in downtown Denver.
