Denver office space

Located at the base of the Rocky Mountains, Denver is one of America's most beautiful cities. And one of the most fun. Blessed with 300 days of sunshine a year, Denver is a lively city with a great love of the outdoors. Here you'll find the nation's largest city park system, 90 golf courses and an incredible 850 miles of paved bike trails. But Denver is also a cultural and sophisticated city. 

Denver has the tenth largest downtown in the U.S. Down every street there are mountain views. The mountain panorama visible from any Denver office space is 120 miles long and includes nearly 200 named peaks. Downtown Denver is home to three new sports stadiums, 300 restaurants, a restored historic district filled with 90 bars, restaurants and brewpubs, a collection of museums, a variety of galleries and shopping, the second largest performing arts center in the nation, three college campuses and even a unique downtown amusement park, Elitch Gardens, beautiful buildings with unique office spaces available. 

Denver's economy is based partially on its geographic position and its connection to some of the major transportation systems of the country. Because Denver is the largest city within 600 miles (1,000 km),Denver offers many office space and it has become a natural location for storage and distribution of goods and services to the Mountain States. Denver is also approximately halfway between the large cities of the Midwest like Chicago and St. Louis and the cities of the West Coast, another benefit for distribution. Over the years, the city has been home to other large corporations in the central United States, making Denver a key trade point for the country. It was, for instance, once home to the early car company Coburn. 

Geography also allows Denver to have a considerable government presence, with many federal agencies based or occupying Denver office spaces. In fact, the Denver-Aurora Metropolitan Area has more federal workers than any other metropolitan area except for the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Along with the plethora of federal agencies come many companies based on US defense and space projects, and more jobs are brought to the city by virtue of its being the capital of the state of Colorado. The Denver area is home to the former nuclear weapons plant Rocky Flats and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory 

The region’s economy has a heavy concentration of high-tech businesses occupying Denver office space, which is certainly an asset in a national economy increasingly driven by technology and innovation. The nation’s 2001 recession dealt a heavy blow to high tech companies, however, and MetroDenver economic growth lagged the national average through most of the 2002-2004 period. In 2005, the area’s economic growth – as measured by GDP for the Denver-Aurora MSA – overtook the national trend, marking an almost four percent increase over growth in 2004. 

As the national and state economies soften in 2008, Metro Denver’s economy will follow. The area’s many business assets, however, will make for a subtler slowdown than may be reported elsewhere. A well-educated workforce, stable housing market, growing businesses occupying office spaces and award-winning transportation infrastructure are building Metro Denver’s reputation as one of America’s top spots for business. The area’s healthy population and many eco-friendly businesses are also drawing attention as the national focus on conservation and sustainability grows. For these and many other reasons, Metro Denver is frequently highlighted in the national media.
