People to meet in 2021: Denis Dowdle
Denis Dowdle, the president of Madison Properties
By Grant Welker
Dowdle simply has more sway than anyone over whether Polar Park pays for itself as city officials maintain, and whether the ballpark can spur a revitalization of the surrounding neighborhood.
Madison Properties first proposed in 2018 a mixed-use development with hundreds of thousands of square feet of offices, apartments, hotel rooms and retail – enough to imagine a nearly completely remade Canal District. Economic conditions haven’t helped, and the project has been downsized slightly and delayed by a few years. Nonetheless, Dowdle, whose firm hasn’t built a project of this scale before, remains a kingmaker of sorts who almost singlehandedly can make the ballpark a financial success for the city, or not.
