Denver industrial just turned in one of the most consequential resets in commercial real estate.

Headline numbers from our Q1 2026 Industrial Investor Report:

→ $2.1 billion in 12-month sales volume across 586 trades — up 16% year over year
→ 7.7% market cap rate, up 240 basis points from the 2022 trough
→ $168 per SF average price, down 2.8% year over year and 10% off the 2022 peak
→ 9.2% vacancy — a two-decade high

What's actually driving this: the post-2021 construction boom finally outpaced demand. 2025 was the first year of negative net absorption since 2011. And institutional buyers — REITs, large funds, and pension capital — pulled back from 47% of deal volume in 2022 to just 16% in Q1 2026.

That created a vacuum that private investors, family offices, and owner-users have been filling. The new clearing prices reflect their underwriting, not institutional return targets.

Q1 closings prove the bid is real:
→ CIRE Equity's $63.5M acquisition of the 876,000-SF Acme Distribution facility
→ Kin Properties' $60.6M purchase of FedEx Bldg 2 (501,770 SF)
→ The Koll Company's $21.5M acquisition of the 6284 S Nome Ct precision-manufacturing facility

The tightest segment is the $1.5M–$4.5M small-bay range, where vacancy stays at 6.5% and 5.5 months of average time on market. Private capital with cash to deploy is finding that segment first.

For owners considering a sale: the bid is real, but transacted prices are running 10-20% below asking on most deals. For buyers: 7.7% caps in Denver are a rare entry point.

Denver retail just turned in one of the cleanest quarters in commercial real estate.

The headline numbers from our Q1 2026 Retail Investor Report:

→ $1.5 billion in 12-month sales volume across 675 trades — up 15% from 2024
→ 6.7% market cap rate — back to historical normal after the 2021 compression
→ 4.4% vacancy — Denver's tightest major asset class, well below the 5.5% 10-year average
→ $216 average price per square foot, up 1.5% year over year

What's actually driving this: institutional buyers stepped back two years ago, and sub-$10M NNN-leased deals have become the domain of private investors, 1031 exchange buyers, and family offices who can underwrite to a 6.5–7.5% cap and hold long.

Q1 closings tell the story:
→ Emich Automotive's $17.3M acquisition of the Luby Chevrolet site on South Wadsworth
→ Citivest Commercial / MDC Realty's $13M purchase of Leetsdale Marketplace — Citivest's fourth Colorado retail acquisition since 2022
→ Venu Holdings' $12.6M acquisition of the former Celebrity Lanes in Centennial, slated for redevelopment as 'The Hall at Centennial' music venue

The supply side reinforces everything: just 0.4% of total Denver retail inventory is under construction, and 96.9% of that pipeline is already pre-leased. Total Denver retail inventory has grown only 4.6% over the past decade.

For owners thinking about a sale: the bid is real and the closings prove it. For 1031 buyers: quality product is moving fast, and capital that needs to deploy is finding fewer options.

Remote work levels are declining in the nation's biggest office cities, according to new research highlighted in the latest SVN International Economic Update. But it's not going away — it's shifting to Sun Belt and lifestyle markets.

In Denver, the office story is playing out in lease sizes. The average office lease signed recently is about 3,200 square feet, down 40% from 2015. Companies are keeping their Denver presence but right-sizing their footprint. Vacancy is at a record 18.2%, and last year saw more office space demolished than built for the first time in the city's history.
