Website Helps Attract Commercial Tenants

An information rich website is helping the Downtown Denver Partnership draw new tenants to the city center and freeing staff time for other work.

The website serves up market information and demographic dashboards that present critical data in an easy-to-read format. The site also provides up-to-date information about available spaces, including square footage and broker contacts.

The site covers all of the frequently requested information and brokers and potential tenants have learned to start their research there.

Equally important, the site is up-to-date. Dashboards for essential data are automatically updated twice a year.

In another time saver, prospective tenants are no longer interviewed by Partnership staff, or taken on tours. Instead, prospects can take an online "personality quiz," then view suitable listings with the broker.

The website www.whydowntowndenver.com won a 2025 innovation award from the International Downtown Association.

Recruitment programs and tools are covered regularly in the pages of Downtown Idea Exchange newsletter.

Main Street Renewal: A Handbook for Citizens and
Public Officials

We are pleased to present, Roger Kemp’s highly regarded Main Street Renewal.

In its pages, Kemp has collected some of the best information available on small town economic development. He includes articles on:

• How to organize and manage economic development programs
• Tools for small-town economic development, and
• Case studies of economic development in action.

The case studies cover everything from specialty retailing as the focus for redevelopment, to bringing residential streets back to life, using plazas and public spaces to bring people downtown, lessons from suburban malls, using downtown’s infill development potential, and more.

The communities examined in the handbook are typically small, ranging in population from a few thousand in rural locations to over 50,000 in cities such as Santa Monica, CA, and West Palm Beach, FL. But the lessons they offer can be applied to communities of all sizes.
