Denver’s retail scene stacks up well compared to other trendy cities across the country.
The latest CBRE retail report compared Denver, by a number of metrics, to other cities as well as to the U.S.
“Compared to peer markets, Denver’s retail growth is reasonable and its absorption of space is hearty,” according to the CBRE report released earlier this year.
CBRE compared Denver to Austin, Texas; Las Vegas; Phoenix; Salt Lake City, San Diego; and Seattle.
CBRE experts will be among more than two dozen brokers, developers, architects and financiers speaking at the next retail conference sponsored by the Colorado Real Estate Journal
The 2019 Retail Summit & Conference will be held from noon until 4:45 p.m. Jan. 14.
The conference at the Hyatt Regency Aurora-Denver Conference Center will immediately follow the Development & Construction conference, also sponsored by CREJ.
The retail conference is expected to draw 400 or more. It is expected to be the largest conference of its kind in the Denver area this year.
