"The Vail Conference Center will be a tremendous addition to the town, making it a prime destination for business meetings and conferences." Mortenson's Colorado projects include the Denver Art Museum addition, 1616 Glenarm in the heart of Downtown, the Denver Health Far Western addition, and commercial construction at Stapleton.
