The takeaway wasn’t “How do we fill empty offices?” It was “What kind of downtown are we building next?”
That shift in thinking was felt throughout ULI Colorado’s Beyond Office Conversion: Building Downtown Neighborhoods conversation.
Denver has reinvented itself before, and this discussion made one thing clear: downtown’s next chapter will require more than conversions. It will take residents, local businesses, public spaces, creative investment, attainable housing, and the confidence to build for what Denver can become rather than recreate what it used to be.
Thank you to Kourtny Garrett, Asher Luzzatto, Susan Powers Powers, and Bill Mosher for a candid, optimistic, and necessary conversation about the work ahead.
