Gotham Greens opens second Colorado greenhouse

Gotham Greens has announced the official opening of its second high-tech hydroponic greenhouse in the Mountain Region and the company’s 11th greenhouse nationwide. The 140,000 square-foot state-of-the-art facility within the Great Western Industrial Park in Windsor, CO, is the company’s first of three new greenhouse facilities set to open in 2023. Building on the success of its flagship Denver Metro greenhouse located at Stanley Marketplace in Aurora, CO, which opened in 2020, Gotham Greens’ new Colorado facility is nearly five times larger and will provide even more year-round supply of fresh produce to retail, restaurant, and foodservice customers throughout the region. Since planting roots in Colorado, Gotham Greens has created more than 85 jobs and has grown to be the leading greenhouse farming brand in the Mountain Region.

“Water is life in Colorado and throughout the Western U.S. Unfortunately, without new technologies like Gotham Greens is deploying, Colorado won’t have enough water to sustain the next generation of agriculture jobs or the industry that is a crucial part of the state’s economy,” says Colorado Governor Jared Polis. “Gotham Greens is an innovative leader in a new era of agriculture that is working to ensure a more sustainable future for Coloradans. With this second greenhouse in the Rocky Mountain Region, the company is making it possible for more Coloradans to eat healthy, fresh, locally grown food, while also conserving the precious resources we need to protect the home we love.”
