We’ve all heard the headlines: "Downtown offices are dead," or "Cities rush to turn towers into apartments." Sounds dramatic, right? But let’s pause the media noise for a minute and take a closer look—especially at what this actually means for business owners and property decision-makers here in Denver.

Let’s dive in. Grab your umbrella — and maybe your checkbook.
The post-2020 workplace continues to undergo significant transformation, with some younger employees hesitant to return to traditional office environments.
The commercial real estate office landscape in the Denver metro area continues to evolve in response to shifting economic & political conditions, industry trends, and emerging demands from businesses.

As we step into 2025, one of the most notable shifts in the workplace may revolve around Return To Office (RTO) attendance policies. According to a recent poll conducted during a CoStar New York office webinar, a significant portion of employees anticipates changes to their office attendance requirements in the new year. This shift follows broader trends in the corporate world, with many companies revisiting their stance on remote and hybrid work arrangements.
