The Railyards is uniquely positioned to revitalize
the downtown core and restore a lost connection to an urban treasure –
the historic site where early settlers worked to connect the West to
the rest of the nation.
The redevelopment will transform the 240-acre
Union Pacific Railyards into a dynamic urban environment with a 21st
century mass transit hub to serve residents, workers and visitors while
celebrating the significance of the area as the birthplace of the
western terminus of the 1869 Transcontinental Railroad.
Designed as a regional destination, The Railyards
will offer a vibrant, urban atmosphere with entertainment venues,
retail establishments, mixed-use high-density housing, office space,
theatres, open space, riverfront amenities, parks, hotels and
museums.
