@wallstreetjournal: America’s downtowns are suffering a crisis. Office work has migrated into the suburbs, leaving abandoned buildings and blighted conditions behind. Developer Asher Luzzatto has a plan to fix these downtown catastrophes. He’s starting with Denver, where nearly 40% of the office space in the central business district is vacant. Host: Peter Grant Producer: Brian Patrick Byrne
The wealthy are out of touch. Who can afford 4500.00 for rent for a three bedroom apartment? If you have that kind of money you buy a home

$1,700 for a studio is a joke. Do you get parking with that?

yeah at those prices they're going to sit empty still. If supply and demand were true, would it not bring the market rate down since there is more supply?

It'll work if he adds a grocery store to the ground floor. That's more important than having nice restaurants nearby.

Cuevanomics :
the challenge is the toilets. an office building with a 50k floor plate has maybe 20 toilets. if you make it apartments, that's gonna be close to 50, or high density could be near 100 per floor. even if you can make it work in the building, you will need a new main sewer line. maybe the 97% discount can make that work but he will be at the mercy of the city's budget and timeline.

Downtown Denver is safe, with plenty of culture, restaurants, and, shops. Easy to get around without a car. There's a trail by the Platte River, train access, and sports venues. People will move into those buildings.

Cristian Santiago :
If it’s so vacant, that means it’s not been desirable or had attractive amenities. Let’s not price people out before they’re even in. Not every urban area in the country is desirable. Let’s get back to supply and demand and pricing based on the actual demand.
