Swire Coca-Cola Picks Colorado Springs for $475 Million Bottling Plant

The 620,000-square-foot facility at Peak Innovation Park replaces a 90-year-old Denver plant.

Overview

  • Groundbreaking is scheduled for 2026 with operations targeted to begin in 2028.
  • The project will add about 170 on-site jobs, with construction supporting roughly 1,190 positions and an estimated $103 million in labor income.
  • The plant is slated to produce more than 230 beverages across over 60 brands and will pursue LEED Gold with largely renewable electricity.
  • Regional partners offered a performance-based incentive package referred to internally as Project Manitou.
  • The selection follows a scrapped DIA-area plan that, according to city documents cited by The Denver Post, collapsed after Xcel Energy failed to provide power to the site.
