New renderings shared with The Denver Post this week show a filled-in layout at Sunset, including a semi-circle wall enclosing tiers of seating, and elevated VIP suites that recall a baseball stadium as much as a concert venue
JW Roth has long admired the business savvy of Denver billionaire Philip Anschutz, whose AEG Presents Rocky Mountains dominates the region’s live-music industry.
A new rendering shows the Roth Seafood & Chophouse and Hospitality Collection, 45,000 square-foot luxury development next to Notes Live’s Sunset amphitheater in Colorado Springs. “I’m an ambience and vibe guy, which is why I wanted to have views of the majestic Pikes Peak,” he said. “I was never going to build it in a boring cow pasture.”
Finalizing the venue was tricky, given that it could potentially compete with other major Springs venues. Some in Colorado Springs might also quibble with the city’s designation as an entertainment desert — a provocative term Roth used last year — since the city also boasts multiple indie music venues , the Pikes Peak Center and the Broadmoor World Arena, which at 7,343 capacity can already host bands supposedly big enough for Sunset.
“I really had three choices: Live Nation, AEG or Oak View Group,” he said. “It’s difficult to put something together as a venue builder without them.”
