Howell Construction Completes Western Union’s (WU) Global Headquarters Relocation Project
Howell Construction, Gensler, and JACOBS recently completed Western Union’s global headquarters relocation project, referred to as “Project Hometown.” The Western Union Company (WU) is a Fortune 500 financial services and communications company that is now headquartered in the Denver Tech Center. Western Union’s headquarters is housed in two buildings on either side of I-25 at Belleview, incorporating approximately 350,000 square feet. These spaces house more than 1,300 employees.
This significant, long-term commitment will now be visible to Colorado communities and provide an infusion of $1 million in contributions to local non-profits and other NGOs, along with a long-term economic investment to the region of more than $300 million over the next decade.
