Although Downtown Denver performs well compared to similarly sized cities across the U.S. in terms of Return to Office (RTO) rates and foot traffic, a 2024 public perception survey indicates that lingering concerns about safety and accessibility reduce the frequent visits by regional workers and consumers that have traditionally been a cornerstone of downtown vibrancy. The Partnership formed two task forces (Retail Recruitment and Office Recruitment) to work directly with local brokers to develop a recruitment strategy that responds to today’s market and consumer conditions. That strategy and related tools for business prospects and brokers are available at www.whydowntowndenver.com.
