The project, renamed Twenty Ninth Street, is between 28th, 30th, Pearl and Arapahoe streets in Boulder. It will be turned into a one-million-sf center, about the size of the multi-block Cherry Creek North in Denver.

Bill Hornaday, now president of the Rocky Mountain business unit for Weitz, was with the firm's Phoenix-based southwest division for 23 years, leaving for Colorado in 2003. During his years in Arizona, he handled about 60 projects for Westcor, including two regional malls and 10 retail power centers. Weitz builds high-rise and suburban office buildings, residential condominiums, tenant interiors, resort properties, parking structures, industrial, healthcare, educational, government and mixed-use facilities.

In Denver, Weitz's projects include renovating the historic Denver Dry Goods Building on the 16th Street Mall and Downtown's Skyline Park. The contractor also built the Andrisen Morton men's clothing store in Cherry Creek North, and has handled urban renovation and rejuvenation projects such as the Flour Mill Lofts in Downtown's Ballpark neighborhood and the Belvedere Tower and Prado condominiums in Denver's Golden Triangle.

Founded in 1855, Weitz has 13 offices nationwide. The Rocky Mountain business unit has offices in Denver, Colorado Springs, Frisco and Glenwood Springs.
