DENVER | Main Development Thread #6

[BG918]

Atlanta was probably not the best comparison, and I do believe Seattle and Atlanta are in a different league than Denver and closer to Dallas, Houston, Miami and Boston in the upper echelon of business centers in the US. In terms of GDP though Denver is not far off from Seattle and Minneapolis and roughly on par with Baltimore, Portland, San Jose, Charlotte and San Diego.

Miami is an interesting case in that it doesn't have very many F500 corporate HQ's but attracts a large amount of foreign investment from South America, and acts as a de facto major business and banking center for the Americas & Caribbean. Denver doesn't attract anywhere close to the same amount of foreign investment at this time.

Back on the development front, I heard 1401 Lawrence would begin in September with the demolition of the old Great Gulf condo showroom that has been vacant for 5 years. We shall see.
