Business Wire
The Western Union Company (NYSE: WU), a leader in global
payments services serving customers in 200 countries and
territories, announced additional details on plans to move its
global headquarters from Englewood, Colo. to new, highly-visible
locations in Denver.
In addition to securing One Belleview Station at 7001 E.
Belleview Ave., the company has signed a long-term lease at 7979 E.
Tufts Ave., where critical business operations will be
conducted.
“Western Union is committed to Denver,” said Hikmet Ersek,
President and CEO of Western Union. “Relocating to the Tech Center
district, closer to light rail access and other urban amenities,
enables us to attract and retain the best workforce talent and
encourage environmental sustainability. As one of the most
prominent global financial technology brands headquartered in
Denver, the new location complements our sponsorship with the
Denver Nuggets and Colorado Rapids, and reflects our continued
commitment to this dynamic community.”
As part of its continued commitment to the Denver community,
Western Union also announced earlier this year: an infusion of $1
million in contributions to local non-profits and other NGOs; its
intention to make space available in its new global headquarters
for local non-profits and NGOs to host community gatherings; and to
shift many of its most prominent meetings and gatherings to Denver.
All told, the Fortune 500 company estimates making a long-term
economic investment to the region of more than $300 million over
the next decade.
