Greenscape's Denver Project to Open in November 2010 at Denver International Airport

Greenscape Capital Group Inc. ("Greenscape") is pleased to report that Canopy Airport Parking (formerly known as Green Park), expected to be the world's greenest parking facility, is ahead of schedule and currently slated to open for customers during the holiday season starting mid-November 2010.
With capacity for 4200 vehicles, this new green facility, located at 8100 Tower Road at Denver International Airport, showcases a variety of advanced environmentally-friendly technologies, including solar power, geothermal, wind, CNG, Biodiesel and hybrid shuttles all helping to reduce consumption, costs and emissions. Canopy Airport Parking will attain LEED Gold certification and is also striving for Platinum certification by the Green Parking Council, the non-profit organization responsible for certifying parking structures that incorporate ecologically and socially beneficial technologies.

Canopy Airport Parking is also creating 100 jobs for the operation of its facility. A job fair for interested applicants took place on October 12th, 2010, at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Denver, CO.

The recently-announced Garage Juice Bar charging stations for electric vehicles will be among the many innovative technologies available to customers parking at Canopy Airport Parking. Co-created with BMW Group DesignworksUSA, Garage Juice Bar provides charging on a complimentary basis to help speed the adoption and deployment of electric vehicles and charging stations across North America. Garage Juice Bar is a high-power Level-2 EV charging station with the SAE-approved J-1772 charge point that will work with all OEM EV cars.

BMW Group DesignworksUSA also partnered with Canopy Airport Parking to create the brand experience, look and feel for this benchmark green parking facility. Through this collaboration DesignworksUSA is developing systems that create a unified and uniquely rewarding customer experience for patrons across all touch points. This experience will convey Canopy's values in an integrally connected manner to heighten the sustainable foundations of this facility, and build brand equity through a highly positive customer journey. This process began with DesignworksUSA first developing an identity that communicates the brand values, positioning and promise of the facility.

Propark, the operating partner at the Canopy Airport Parking facility, is one of the leading parking companies in the United States and has been pivotal in aiding the evolution of the green parking movement. This initiative at DIA is the latest example of Propark's commitment to advance sustainable systems and design within communities.
