RE: Analysis of the develcpment and lease option agreement and
lease between RTD and John W. Galbreath & Co.
AG Alpha No. LE GA AGAHG
AG File No. CHR/AGAHG/KL (EDITED)
Dear Representatives Faatz, McCroskey and Reeves:
I am responding to your letter dated December 3, 1981, requesting
my opinion on several questions regarding agreements between the
Regional Transportation District (RTD) and John W. Galbreath &
Co. (Developer) for development of the block bounded by Broad-
way, 16th Street, Lincoln and Colfax Avenue. In preparing this
opinion we have reviewed the development and lease option agree-
ment dated February 4, 1981, executed by RTD and the developer
(the development agreement) and exhibit A to that agreement,
which is an unexecuted lease of air rights (the lease). We are
informed by RTD that the lease which we reviewed is the currently
effective version and contains several amendments to the original
lease. We have not reviewed exhibit A to the lease, which is to
be a plot plan describing the limits and planes of the property
leased to developer and the property retained for use by RTD, nor
exhibit B to the lease, which is to be a description of certain
easements granted to the developer. It is my understanding that
these exhibits have not yet been finalized.
As you know, the agreements contemplate an arrangement whereby
developer will construct an office building above portions of an
RTD transit facility. RTD will include in its construction of
the transit facility the columns, supports, foundations and
utilities necessary for the office building. At the present
time, the developer has not made a binding commitment to enter
into the lease. If the developer chooses to do so, the lease
requires payment to RTD of (1) a minimum rent ranging from
$100,000 to $400,000 per year and (2) a cash flow participation
