Horwath HTL Denver has produced our latest market report about the 'Current Image' of Denver as far as being a potential 'World Class' City. Being a City that has accomplished a great deal in the last 10-25 years, Denver has seen its overall image increased significantly. This improvement in image (new international airport, new international air service, proposed massive development adjacent to the new international airport, significant additions to the lodging inventory, the potential expansion of the Colorado Convention Center and the redevelopment/addition to the existing Denver Art Museum) has raised the perception of Denver to where it is recognized as truly a City on the move. We believe that with a few more potential opportunities, Denver will really become THE MILE HIGH CITY!
