Downtown Denver's office space includes an eclectic mix of high-rise and historic structures, giving the area a professional atmosphere with a welcoming, western flair. The last few years has seen a surge of new lofts and apartments drawing many new residents to the area, as well as a wealth of new restaurants, retailers, entertainment and cultural venues.

The Financial District in upper downtown is a perpetual favorite for law firms, other professional services firms and oil & gas companies looking for the right office rentals in Denver.  Traveling northwest on the 16th Street free shuttle bus takes you to Lower Downtown, or LoDo, a favorite part of town for businesses looking for more unique office rentals and those looking to attract younger workers.  Architects, artists, web designers and a wide variety of creative services firms can be found in many of the historic structures that have been creatively remodeled in this area.

DOWNTOWN DENVER OFFICES - SPACE STATISTICS
This submarket includes 25.6 million square feet of Class A and Class B office space in 104 buildings.

TRANSPORTATION
Many employers choose Denver’s CBD for its robust transit network of bus and light rail.  The Central Business District benefits from the convergence of new commuter and light rail, and conventional and rapid bus transit service in Denver Union Station, which is located at the northwest end of the submarket. 

Denver’s public transportation system and the Union Station complex is currently undergoing a multi-billion dollar, 12-year program to build new commuter rail and light rail, bus rapid transit service, new parking spaces at rail and bus stations, and enhance bus service for easy, convenient bus/rail connections across the eight-county district.  Called FasTracks, it is one of the largest transportation projects in North America, and is anticipated to create more than 10,000 jobs during the height of construction and pump billions of dollars into the regional economy.

As the hub of Denver’s transit system, the redevelopment of Denver Union Station is a crucial component, knitting together many different transportation modes and six new public plazas in one place with convenient pedestrian and bicycle connections.  The Historic Station will be rehabilitated to its historic prominence.  Upon completion, Denver Union Station will be an exciting destination and a major transportation gateway to the region.

Still in the planning stages is the East Corridor, an electric commuter train that will run from Denver Union Station to Denver International Airport. The line will have five intermediate stations, located at 38th/Blake, Colorado, Central Park, Peoria, and 40th/Airport.

AREA FEATURES
The 16th Street Pedestrian Mall, with free shuttle between upper and lower downtown, includes diverse retailers and a wealth of restaurants for a lively break in the day.
