Mile High Development Team

George Thorn, President and Founder

began his real estate career in 1970 with Grubb & Ellis in the San Fransico Bay Area, becoming the regional manager in Denver in 1973. In 1977, Mr. Thorn founded Victorio Realty Group, a regional real estate development company, which later evolved into Mile High Development LLC. Mile High Development has been the developer of Colorado Center, a major mixed-use project located in central Denver.

Today, Mile High Development is focused on various mixed-use development opportunities at existing or proposed light rail stations along the southeast I-25 corridor. MHD has the ability to work in a complex political environment to maximize these opportunities by working closely with land owners, the City & County of Denver, the Regional Transportation District (RTD), Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), and other governmental entities.

Mr. Thorn received a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Arizona in 1967. He is a member of the International Council of Shopping Centers (“ICSC”), the Urban Land Institute (“ULI”), and the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties (“NAIOP”), having served on the NAIOP Board of Directors. He is a former Denver Urban Renewal Authority (“DURA”) commissioner and served as Chair of Downtown Denver, Inc., in 2002 & 2003, and Chair of the Downtown Denver Partnership in 2004.
