Downtown Denver: Momentum in Motion

From Perception to Progress: What’s Really Happening Downtown

Join CREW Denver for an engaging, data-informed conversation featuring Kourtny Garrett, President & CEO of the Downtown Denver Partnership; Teena Bergstrand, President-Elect of CREW Denver; and Sue Selle, Senior Research Director, West Region, CBRE | Americas Research.

Together, they’ll take a closer look at Downtown Denver beyond the headlines, combining market data, economic development insight, and commercial real estate perspectives to explore what’s really happening in the city’s urban core—and what it means for Denver’s future.

Sue Selle will help ground the conversation in the latest CBRE research, looking beyond the headline office vacancy rate to the underlying trends signaling a market in transition. From improving net absorption and normalized sublease availability to the continued flight to quality, rightsizing of office inventory, and significant public and private investment, the data is beginning to tell a different story about Downtown Denver.

Kourtny Garrett and Teena Bergstrand will build on that market perspective to explore how investment, development, placemaking, talent attraction, and collaboration across the public and private sectors are translating into real momentum and where opportunities and challenges remain.
