Denver debates demolishing empty office towers downtown
Original: Knocking down buildings in Denver drags up bad memories, but empty office space drags on the economy
Debate in Denver centers on whether to demolish vacant office buildings downtown. Supporters of demolition say memories of previous big teardowns make people uneasy, but leaving large amounts of empty office space vacant continues to weigh on the local economy as remote work keeps occupancy low.
Why now: High downtown office vacancy has cities weighing demolition versus conversion, a contentious economic question.
