I think the non-vocal opinion shared by most at TK was either a renovated TK, or a new facility halfway to DEN, near the light-rail.
Which indeed, would be tomorrow.
This is the only one that makes sense to me (which is why it will probably be wrong)
Central location
DEN will pay huge for that land. My guess is they are offering the new TK land for free or cheap and a new building for free or cheap as well. Stop on light rail, which means no transportation and van issues, and would be a problem in both IAH and ORD. close to lots of hotels in a safer part of the neighborhood with plenty of food options.
If UAL gets big discounts on light rail passes or included in the deal it would save a ton on transportation, and the city might even offer to move our sims once the building is done. A short move vs. a very long move also saves big money on down time for the sim. Another huge issue since we are struggling to keep on schedule now.
No matter what the decision is, I imagine it is at least 2-3 years out from a building even being built and sims moved.
