• Where growth and capital are headed next, as the city of Denver lost residents while surrounding suburbs grew, and how sports and entertainment districts, downtown reinvestment and suburban expansion are shifting where the next deals get done.

• Whether Denver office has finally turned the corner, after the market logged 1.7 million SF of leasing in Q2 2026, its best quarter since 2022, even as some downtown towers trade at losses of up to 85%. Hear how CEOs are repositioning, converting and recapitalizing assets for the next cycle.

• When apartment rents turn back up, as Denver absorbed roughly 13,500 units in 12 months, the most in more than 20 years, with about 13,000 more units slated to deliver in 2027.
