In Denver’s high-growth northern suburbs, Bill oversaw The Westminster Promenade development, located at Highway 36 and 104th Avenue.  This work involved the entitlement of a 30-acre site for entertainment retail, its leasing and property management, and the disposition of excess land.  The project is presently at 218,000 square feet and includes an AMC 24, Dave & Buster’s, Rock Bottom Brewery and Splitz Bowling Center.   Jenkins also completed direct 10-acre sales to United Bank and Glauser Mercedes Benz.  He is presently overseeing  26 adjacent acres under contract for The Promenade multi-family housing, retail and medical office uses.

In addition to local brokerage activity, Jenkins has launched REIT Advisory Services.  His knowledge of multiple U.S. and Canadian markets allows Jenkins to perform REIT fundamental analysis and provide recommendations to investor groups focused on REIT activity as an investment.
