The last few years have been challenging for many of Denver’s largest commercial real estate companies. Mergers are common and brokers are changing teams like an NBA off-season.
Providing stability to the market, boutique tenant representation firms such as ProTenant have been able to weather the lack of leasing activity because of their ability to provide clients with ongoing real estate strategy in reaction to the market, providing value beyond the lease transaction.
In contrast, large full-service companies are now looking inward to address the mounting challenges of their largest profit center: landlords. In fact, most Denver full-service real estate companies realize 80 percent of their revenue from their landlord clients.
Unique market conditions often demand that companies re-examine their operations. Naturally, business real estate is essential to that process. Unfortunately, outside of direct transaction involvement, full-service firms rarely offer the type of pro-active and non-conflicted insight office tenants require when making real estate decisions. Thus, when seeking a new Denver corporate real estate services provider, companies are better served by working shoulder-to-shoulder with a
professional that exclusively represents tenants.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) on August, 17, 2010 released their "exposure draft" requiring companies to record nearly all leases on their balance sheets as a "right to use" asset, and a corresponding "future lease payment ? liability". What does this mean to your business in layman terms?
This proposal in essence does away with operating leases; all leases (unless immaterial) would be capitalized using the present value of the minimum lease payments. Therefore, businesses who in the past had off?balance sheet lease obligations, must nowrecord these obligations on their balance sheet.

The Denver Real Estate market is constantly changing. While the Denver commercial real estate market seems to have stabilized, finding the right space is still a challenge. There are many factors to consider in selecting space for your business. You need to find a location that is appropriate for your business’ operations. Manufacturing and warehouse businesses have very different space needs than a retail operation or a “white-collar” business such as a law or CPA firm. Next you need to find a location that will be convenient for both employees and customers. Law firms may need to locate near the courthouse; a manufacturing firm should consider ease of delivery of their raw materials. Retail operations need to locate where their customers are. Choosing the right business location can be a daunting task.
