DENVER – The redevelopment of the old Emily Griffith Opportunity School campus is on track to be complete by late summer of this year.

In 2019, Denver-based Stonebridge Companies, a development firm, announced plans to turn the old campus into a hotel and retail space.

The original school opened in the 1920s and served as technical college but moved to other buildings in 2014.

Stonebridge Companies bought the property from Denver Public Schools for $25 million.

The pandemic has delayed several redevelopment projects in downtown Denver, but Stonebridge told Denver7, this project is on schedule.
