Community Empowerment

Community is at the heart of the Denver Summit FC stadium project and reflects Mortenson’s core value of authentically investing in the places where we build. In partnership with DSFC, our team is proud to support the WENU Community Benefits Agreement, helping ensure the stadium’s transformative impact and delivering a true community asset for Denver.

Community Partner Spotlight: Transportation and Construction Girl

IMG_8781_edited.jpg

Transportation & Construction Girl (TCG) is a hands-on education and outreach program designed to introduce young girls to careers in the transportation, construction, engineering, and related industries. Through interactive activities, mentorship, and exposure to women working in the field, the program helps students see themselves as future leaders and professionals in industries where women have historically been underrepresented. Denver Summit FC and Mortenson participated in TCG Day in September 2026, providing insight into the industry to over 2,000 young ladies.

Small Business Participation 

Denver Summit FC and Mortenson are dedicated to supporting the success of local businesses. We encourage small businesses to visit the “Procurement” tab, ensure they are registered with us through BuildingConnected, and participate in upcoming Outreach Meetings.

The Center for Employment Opportunities was a trusted partner in providing clean up of the Summit FC Project site prior to the ground-breaking ceremony. The crew of 15 previously justice involved men and women were provided a living wage and received accolades from the project team and will be recommended on other projects!

Sustainability

The Denver Summit FC Stadium is slated to be the second all-electric stadium in the United States. In addition to pursuing LEED certification, the project will be constructed under the framework of the Contractor’s Commitment. The Contractor’s Commitment is a nationally recognized framework that empowers builders to lead with sustainability by reducing carbon emissions, improving jobsite wellness, managing water responsibly, and making smarter material and procurement decisions. Created by contractors for contractors, it serves as an industry benchmark for what it means to be a truly green builder—providing clear best practices for planning, implementing, tracking, and reporting environmental and workforce impacts. By applying these standards to the Denver Summit FC stadium project, the team can deliver a high‑performance, low‑impact facility that prioritizes worker health, protects natural resources, and strengthens community trust while setting a new bar for responsible sports‑venue construction.
