DENVER — Feb. 2, 2015 — The number of public parking spaces at Denver International Airport will grow by 1,795 with the addition of a new parking structure on the east side of Jeppesen Terminal.
Construction of the new four-story parking structure, which will be located on the southeast corner of the Jeppesen Terminal, is scheduled to begin this month and is expected to take about two years to complete at an estimated cost of about $46 million. The project will be built by Swinerton Builders and will be paid for by the airport’s Capital Improvement Project fund.
Separately, the airport is nearing completion on a project to add an additional 261 parking spaces adjacent to the north end of the east parking garage. An additional 430 spaces were recently added to the east and west economy lots through a redesign of the current layout.
After the garage is built, DIA will offer a total of 19,496 garage parking spaces, and will manage a total of 43,275 parking spaces. The airport continuously evaluates its parking needs, and is adding the additional spaces to meet growing demand among air travelers.
The projects are part of a package of upgrades aimed at improving the experience for DIA’s parking customers. In 2014 the airport added reserved parking spaces in the east and west parking garages (available at www.DIAreservedparking.com), and electric vehicle charging stations were installed in late 2013. DIA also recently completed a project that retrofit more than 5,400 lights in the existing parking garages with energy-efficient LED fixtures to improve lighting and reduce energy consumption.
“We are working to improve the parking experience at DIA by adding additional capacity and making other investments in our products that provide the highest level of customer service and value,” said Greg Hegarty, DIA’s acting senior vice president of commercial.
Denver International Airport is one of the busiest airports in the world. DEN is the primary economic engine for the state of Colorado, generating more than $36 billion for the region annually.
