About Us

Morgan Creek Ventures LLC is a real estate development firm based in Boulder, Colorado that was founded by Andy Bush in 2001. The firm specializes in urban infill projects with a focus on design and sustainability. Working primarily in Colorado and California, Morgan Creek Ventures has managed the development and redevelopment of over 750,000 square feet of office, residential and mixed-use projects. The firm’s focus on sustainability has resulted in several pioneering efforts including the first LEED Platinum tenant improvement project in the country, the first privately developed green roof in Colorado, as well as one of the first Net Zero multi-tenant buildings in the country. Over the past decade, the firm has developed a variety of LEED Gold and Platinum designs, expanding their experience base in energy management, material science, and user experiences, pushing the envelope toward Net Zero Energy.

Prior to founding Morgan Creek Ventures over two decades ago, Andy was a Managing Principal with Redstone Group, a real estate consulting and construction firm, focused on resort and conservation development in the western United States. Previously, Andy spent six years as one of four Principles of Design Studios West (DSW), a consulting firm focused on city planning and urban design. Andy started his career over thirty-five years ago with URS Corporation, eventually holding the position of Vice President of Planning for the Northwest/Mountain Region. He was educated at the University of Wisconsin in Urban Planning and has served as a trustee and board member for several redevelopment associations and family foundations. He is a regular speaker on the topic of urban development and sustainable development. Today, he oversees a small group of talented real estate professionals who acquire, entitle, and oversee the design and construction of these specialized projects.

The firm is currently developing a $250 million portfolio of “all-electric” properties adjacent to Google’s Boulder campus. Ranging from office to multi-family residential, with first-floor retail, the project is the central development in the city’s new transit hub. Working with Boulder Housing Partners, the new neighborhood provides a variety of commercial and residential project types as well as an innovative transportation demand “district” designed to reduce single-occupancy vehicle use. MCV has also pioneered a model “green lease” in partnership with Rocky Mountain Institute that ensures that commercial buildings maintain their Net Zero status even if individual tenants use more energy than allotted in their energy budget.
