Denver has fared better than most American
cities in the recent global economic downturn.
Over the past decade, Denver’s real
estate market has not expanded as rapidly
as in other fast-growing U.S. cities. The city
enjoys a diverse industrial base, including the
booming alternative energy and bioscience
sectors. On the office front, Denver’s low vacancy
rate has changed little in the past year
while lease rates have continued to increase.
2007 marked Denver’s biggest year in tourism,
adding fuel to an economy which should
emerge from the global financial crisis poised
for continued growth and prosperity.

Sustainable development is three fold: economic, socio-cultural, and environmental. The future of Boyle Heights and
its surrounding areas should adapt a holistic approach to reconnecting the community through the promotion of its
public spaces with cultural development opportunities, sustainable building practices, and environmental amenities.
