GWIP brings the future of agriculture to Northern Colorado

Great Western Industrial Park (GWIP), The Broe Group's 3,000-acre master planned development located at the center of one of the fastest-growing regions in the nation, was revealed as the home of Gotham Greens' newest greenhouse in the Rocky Mountain region that is currently under construction. Phase one of the New York-based, indoor farming pioneer's project will house a 150,000 square foot state-of-the-art climate-controlled, high-tech hydroponic greenhouse facility. Gotham Greens will continue to grow and deliver fresh salad greens and herbs for grocery retailers, restaurants, and foodservice customers throughout the Mountain West region, including Whole Foods Market, King Soopers, Safeway, and Sprouts.

Gotham Greens' hydroponic growing technology enables the company to grow and harvest fresh produce year-round while using up to 95% less water and 97% less land than conventional farming.

"Colorado has a deep agricultural history and, as a Colorado company, The Broe Group is proud to bring a new generation of agriculture to one of the nation's top-producing agricultural counties with the technology to feed generations of future Coloradans," said Broe Real Estate Group Senior Vice President Dean Brown. "Gotham Greens' sustainable indoor farming operation offers an exciting and more sustainable agricultural source for the Rocky Mountain region's produce needs."

Gotham Greens' line of fresh, local and sustainably grown salad greens, herbs, dressings, dips and cooking sauces are currently available in approximately 3,000 grocery stores nationwide.

"Over the past decade, Gotham Greens has helped to pioneer and popularize the greenhouse-grown produce category among retailers and consumers alike, as well as advance innovative greenhouse development throughout the U.S.," said Eric Haley, Co-Founder and CFO of Gotham Greens and a Denver-area native, "We are excited to expand our presence in Colorado and the Mountain West region at GWIP."
