The Denver Broncos’ new three-story headquarters, Broncos Park Powered by CommonSpirit, is quickly taking shape at Dove Valley in Englewood and is still on track to open in spring 2026. The complex is set to pull the franchise’s football operations, player development, and business staff under a single roof for the first time, a major reshuffling of how the organization works day to day. As reported by the Denver Broncos.

When it is finished, the campus will cover roughly 320,000 square feet across about 26 acres, anchored by a 200,000-square-foot training building that connects directly to the Pat Bowlen Fieldhouse. The team has billed the project as privately funded and designed to boost both operational efficiency and the quality of player recovery spaces.

Design and layout

Architects at HOK said they leaned on player step-count data to rethink the layout so athletes spend less time trekking between the locker room, weight room, and indoor practice field and more time actually training. The three-story structure sits just west of the previous facility at the plaza level, expanding first-floor player areas while shifting many staff to the upper floors and keeping campus sightlines open for fans. HOK also notes modular interior walls, repositionable equipment, and underground parking meant to keep practice fields clear.

Mass timber and sustainability

The project leans heavily on mass timber as the primary structure, a choice the team and builders say reduces the building’s embodied carbon compared with a typical steel or concrete frame. Coverage of the topping-out ceremony highlighted a final black spruce beam being placed and noted that mass timber’s cost competitiveness has tightened amid tariff pressures. The warm tones of the wood are intended to echo a Colorado-inspired palette while supporting broader sustainability goals, as per Sports Business Journal.

Construction progress and schedule

Turner Construction is managing the roughly $175 million build, which broke ground in August 2024. Crews and team leaders celebrated a topping-out ceremony in mid-2025, and work has continued toward a target occupancy date in May 2026. Construction industry reporting and local coverage detail the schedule and the leadership team steering the project according to Mile High CRE.

Fans, recruiting and the campus plan

Even before the first shovel hit dirt, the Broncos were using glossy renderings of Broncos Park as a recruiting prop, showing visiting free agents how their new home base would look. The campus plan keeps permanent spectator seating and a landscaped berm so fans can still flock to training camp, while hospitality features like a rooftop terrace and amenity courtyard are designed for staff and visitors who are not catching passes for a living. Those design and recruiting notes appear on the HOK project page and in the team’s media materials, as reported by the Denver Broncos.

If the timeline holds, players will be in the new locker rooms and performance spaces by May, after which the team plans to demolish the 1990-era building currently on the site. Observers have framed the project as a play for both operational efficiency and optics in a new ownership era that has put upgraded venues and infrastructure near the top of the priority list, and industry reporting has tracked those milestones along with the planned teardown as per the Sports Business Journal.
