Starbucks, restaurant in works for new stretch of United gates at DIA

A new restaurant and Starbucks are in the works for a newly opened stretch of gates at Denver International Airport.

Denver City Council is reviewing a concession contract that would allow OTG DEN Venture to open the coffee shop and a restaurant called Sunset Loop Bar & Grill at the east end of Concourse B.

The venues would operate in 7,363 square feet, according to documents presented to a council committee last week. The restaurant would offer casual dining with a full-service bar, and share seating with Starbucks.

The eateries would be operated by OTG DEN Venture – a joint venture between OTG Inc and Doc 1 Solutions. Keith Montoya, president of Doc 1 Solutions, did not respond to requests for comment.

The contract is set for 10 years once construction is completed. Yearly rent is either $1.42 million (about $192 a square foot) or 15 percent of yearly gross sales until $12.5 million is reached, then 16 percent until $15 million, and finally 17 percent for any sales above $15 million.
