Developers Echo Investment Capital, Robinson Park and Russell Westbrook Enterprises (RWE) gave Populous a narrow edge over Gensler to win the project. Populous is also designing the stadium that’ll be home to professional men’s and women’s soccer teams when it opens in 2027 and likely cost more than $100M, though the final cost is still being pinned down. “When you’re planning a 50-acre development surrounding a brand-new multipurpose stadium, you want to make sure the architects and master planners are working hand-in-hand,” said Echo Soccer President Court Jeske. “Selecting Populous for both made that an obvious advantage.” Echo and Robinson Park have also named Nuggets G Russell Westbrook as the creative director of the proposed district. Westbook is helping Echo with the branding for its as-of-yet unnamed soccer club. -via Sports Business Journal / May 29, 2025
