PROPERTY AND MARKET INFORMATION
BROOMFIELD, COLORADO
The City of Broomfield is centrally located between
Denver and Boulder, two of the largest metropolitan
areas in Colorado. Impeccable access with continued
improvements to the U.S. 36 corridor gives this area a
strategic advantage and allows Broomfield to be an
attractive location for a diverse range of companies.
The Broomfield area has experienced rapid growth in
recent years, stimulated by the increase in tech-based
companies to the area. Colorado fosters a strong livework-play philosophy, and the local population is
fueled by outdoor activities, social attractions and
other local amenities enjoyed by Rocky Mountain
lifestyle enthusiasts.
Colorado’s emerging “Silicon Valley,” the corridor
which runs along U.S. 36, is one of the strongest
technology clusters in the Western United States with
approximately 66% of its employers engaged in
communications or technology. More than 700 firms
employ more than 30,000 employees in high-tech
research, manufacturing and information technology
services in Denver’s Northwest. The northwest
quadrant of the Denver Metropolitan Area, including
Broomfield, has been the hub of high-tech
employment in the Denver area for the last 30 years
and is home to some of the leading companies in the
world including IBM, Level 3 Communications, Oracle
and Ball Corporation. Like Silicon Valley, which enjoys
proximity to Stanford University, Santa Clara
University and University of California, Berkeley,
Northwest Denver has phenomenal access to
intellectual capital from such institutions as the
University of Colorado Boulder and the University of
Denver, providing the employment base for these
firms. Over 35% of the Denver metro’s population has
completed at least four years of college, and in the
northwest quadrant of the metropolitan area,
including Broomfield and Boulder Counties, that
number is approximately 50% – one of the highest
levels of educational achievement in the country. This
area has experienced rapid growth in recent years
and has benefited from the completion of a vast array
of mixed-use projects including entertainment venues
such as the 1stBANK Center (a 6,500-seat multi-use
arena that opened in 2010), restaurants, residential
projects and retail developments including FlatIron
Crossing Mall — a neighboring 1.5-million-squarefoot regional shopping center.

PROPERTY AND MARKET INFORMATION
Arista Mixed-Use Development
The Aloft sits within Broomfield’s 200-acre Arista
master-plan transit-oriented development, just a
few blocks from the previously mentioned 6,500seat 1stBANK Center entertainment venue. This
multi-use arena is the premiere mid-sized event
venue in the Denver area and hosts a number of
major concerts, sports events and family shows
each year. The Arista development has gained
much traction over the last few years since the
economic downturn with Children’s Hospital
Colorado opening a center, Mrs. Field Famous
Brands relocating its headquarters to one of
Arista’s office buildings, and KB Homes building a
new community of energy-efficient homes. In
addition to the Aloft and 1stBANK Center, these
new projects joined many existing apartments and
office
tenants,
restaurants,
shops
and
neighborhood parks.
INTERLOCKEN BUSINESS PARK
Interlocken, a 970-acre business park located
approximately two miles northwest of the Aloft, is
positioned at the midpoint of the Denver/BoulderCorridor, a section of Northwest Denver
characterized by a concentration of high-tech
corporations, institutions of higher education,
research and development laboratories, and some of
Colorado’s largest and most prestigious employers.
The Interlocken Business Park contains approximately
3.7 million square feet of office and industrial space,
with an estimated 11,700 employees. Interlocken has
attracted many high-tech and prominent firms
including Brocade, Pentax Technologies, Corporate
Express, Oracle/Sun Microsystems, Level 3, Hunter
Douglas, ConocoPhillips, McKesson Health Solutions,
Clifton Gunderson, Geneva Pharmaceuticals, AT&T,
and Ball Corporation. Recently, many additional hightech firms have either moved or expanded into the
area:
•
•
•
•
Vmware, a Palo Alto, CA-based software company expanded its presence in Broomfield with the lease of 50,000 SF in Interlocken,
bringing an estimated 300 new jobs to the site.
Webroot’s corporate headquarters moved into 105,000 SF in Interlocken, committing up to 400 employees in Broomfield in the next
few years.
ybase, a computer company focused on cloud computing, consolidated its employees into 28,095 SF at Central Park Tower in
Interlocken.
Gogo, a provider of in-flight communications systems for business aircrafts, executed a lease for an additional 15,049 SF in

PROPERTY AND MARKET INFORMATION
DENVER METRO OVERVIEW
The greater Denver metropolitan area’s population of 2.95
million people places it among the top 20 MSAs in the U.S.
and its growth rate has exceeded the national rate in every
decade over the past 80 years. By 2042, estimates project a
population of more than 4.6 million representing a net
growth of more than 1.5% per year and 56.9% overall.
Over the past five years, Metro Denver had the 5th strongest
population growth among the top-20 metropolitan areas
nationally, and today has a comparable profile to Seattle.
Located within a few hours of world-class skiing, Denver
draws international interest as a resort destination.
Enjoying a year-round moderate climate and colorful
changes of season, the Denver area is consistently ranked
as one of the country’s “Best Places to Live.” Surrounded by
plains on three sides and awe inspiring views of the Rocky
Mountains on the western horizon, Denver has a unique
feel for such a bustling urban area.
Denver Skyline
Denver’s strong transport outlets and strategic location have allowed it to become a hub for international trade and diplomatic
activity. The metro is host to nearly 40 foreign consulate offices, providing Denver businesses with a point of contact to
potential foreign markets and partnerships. The city has also made concerted efforts to build relationships with foreign cities
and countries, take part in international trade missions, and host foreign trade delegations in order to build exposure and open
markets for Denver business globally.
These efforts have paid dividends with state-level data showing that Colorado exports increased 11.3% in 2012 to $8.16 billion,
up from $7.33 billion in 2011. Colorado’s top-five exports in 2012 included computers and electronic products ($449 million),
beef ($440 million), medical instruments ($386 million), engines and motors ($359 million), and orthopedic and hearing
devices ($274 million).
DIVERSE ECONOMY & DESIRABLE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
Denver’s economy is one of the most diversified in the nation. With two-thirds of the region’s population originally from out of
state, Denver’s business community is reliant on embracing new people and ideas, opening doors to potential business and
social networking opportunities for newcomers. As a result, business leaders feel that the region fosters a culture in which
industry sectors are easily crossed and regional collaboration is readily sparked and sustained. Over the past two decades,
Denver’s leaders created the structural foundation that will allow Denver to progress as a primary market. The city has
constructed the largest (and 5th busiest) airport in the United States, rolled out the nation’s largest single transit system
including the build-out of the multi-modal Union Station, expanded its Convention Center, created new professional sports
facilities and has the second largest performing arts center in the U.S. next to Ney York’s Lincoln Center. In 2012, Forbes
ranked Denver 5th in the “Best Places for Business and Careers” while CNBC ranked Colorado 8th among “America’s Top States
for Business.”
POST-RECESSION JOB RECOVERY
Denver is one of only six cities to have added back more jobs in the recovery than were lost in the recession. Like many cities
and economies nationwide, Denver’s economy fell into recession in late 2008. Despite a 4.4% job loss between 2008 and
2009, the region’s unemployment rate remained considerably below the national average. The state’s top-10 rankings
included college-level educational attainment, high-tech employment, venture capital and initial public offerings, and
numerous measures of business costs and general economic strength. Denver’s appealing quality of life, federal and city
government support, strategic partnerships, smart workforce, and positive growth have all contributed to the city’s business
success and bright future.

DENVER NORTHWEST SUBMARKET
The Denver metro area is home to over
50,000 workers in the high-tech space,
with most of them concentrated in

to PricewaterhouseCoopers, Denver is one
of 12 “core” technology markets in the
United States. Like Silicon Valley, which
enjoys proximity to stellar universities,
Northwest Denver has phenomenal access
to intellectual capital. This is a result of
the presence of several highly acclaimed
universities, such as University of
Colorado Boulder and the University of
Denver. Over 35% of the Denver
Metropolitan area’s population has
completed at least four years of college. In
the Northwest submarket, including

Few markets nationally have the mix of
capital, universities, talented labor pool
and appealing lifestyle needed to rival
Silicon
Valley.
However,
Denver’s
Northwest corridor has been successfully
luring established tech firms and young
entrepreneurs, as well as precious venture
capital investments from all over the
country to a Rocky Mountain community
offering a wide range of recreational
opportunities making for a desirable
