Why Denver spent $75k to analyze converting office towers to apartments

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:12:30 GMT

Denver hopes converting office buildings to apartments is the key to revitalizing downtown.Although some employees have returned to the office since the pandemic spurred the switch to working from home, the Downtown Denver Partnership said employee counts downtown were only 60% of 2019.Although fewer workers are commuting, vehicle traffic is 2% below 2019.

It would be a shame to waste them,” Jennifer Ramsey, adaptive reuse administrator at Denver’s Depart...
