Plaza Premium lounge Denver -- I no longer see Denver listed on their website as coming soon. Probably canceled! I hope I am wrong.

If i remember correctly, when they were laying out their plans to build the lounge, they were forecasting $2 million in revenue or something there about. Which, again off the top of my head, was almost 3x as high as some of their best locations. Maybe they came back to earth and realized it wasn't worth it, or they're waiting for the expansion of DEN terminals to be completed.

Demand for the Platinum® jumped after American Express relaunched the card in 2017, and one side effect was more customers: Platinum® customer visits to Centurion Lounges surged 30% in 2017 from the previous year....

"Exclusive use" in the lounge context (as opposed to gates, etc) means that there are policies that restrict which airport users can use the facility; i.e Not any one can walk up and buy entry into a Centurion Lounge; you must be a member. "Common Use" may have a variety of complimentary entry arrangements (even exclusive ones), but ultimately at least most of the time any one can walk up and pay and get entry.
A great example of how this affects the airport world is the apparent award in PHX. Centurion Lounges are sometimes excluded from consideration because they are deemed to be exclusive use when airports either desire or have policy restrictions against exclusive use facilities; thus AXP partnered with Escape to allow the bid to be positioned with a common-use aspect/outlet b/c Escape is technically common-use. The partnership with Escape has opened up more potential Centurion markets because of the access to Escape's common-use policy.
So the common use lounges out there are Escape, Airspace, ALD, Plaza Premium, Wingtips, et al.

I think that means we can assume the lounge will be of similar size to the 2 United Lounges on B because there is actually room above the the concensions currently there. Any additional space would require some significant structural construction.
