Downtown Denver in the evening

Denver’s office market is showing resilience as net absorption returned to a positive figure.

Key Takeaways

  • Absorption plummets in Q3.
  • Leasing activity slows, realizing 1.9MSF in Q3 2022.
  • Ongoing fears surrounding the pandemic are fading, but the majority of large companies are struggling to get back in the office. As time passes, we expect to see an increasingly hybrid model by late-2022 or early-2023.
  • Denver remains well-positioned for recovery due to its successful vaccination distribution, diverse tenant base, educated workforce, and company relocation/expansion announcements.
