Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:44:12 GMT

The Denver metro area has struggled with housing shortages for over a decade. Despite high demand, construction and development costs make it difficult to build enough housing, particularly in the city’s core.Experts discussed housing and other issues Denver faces during a Sept. 20 Commercial Real Estate Symposium and Forecast Panels hosted by the Denver Commercial Association of Realtors.“Denver is an exciting place. Many people want to be here,” said Marty Roth with CBRE.While metro area governments work to streamline their process and create more supply, barriers include expensive land, high interest rates, and labor and material costs.“We’re more than 100,000 houses short in the metro market,” said Mike Kboudi with Cushman & Wakefield. “To improve attainability and affordability, we need to create more supply, but it’s difficult to find places to build quickly.”Limited land in Denver pushes development out into the suburb...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:44:12 GMT

AURORA — Tom Doherty knew what he was doing. There’s only one reason you leave a dynasty — to go and try to start your own.The longtime Cherry Creek defensive coordinator took over the Grandview job three years ago, and led the Wolves to the Class 5A semifinals and quarterfinals the past two seasons.

Senior quarterback Liam Szarka, the exact mold of player that Doherty wants to build his program identity around, put the Wolves on his shoulders with five total touchdowns.So, let’s check in with Doherty — how’s he feeling about his decision to leave juggernaut Cherry Creek? Pretty, pretty good.“I like our trajectory,” Doherty sa...

SAN FRANCISCO — The post-Gabe Kapler era started the same way his tenure ended: in defeat.With interim skipper Kai Correa at the helm, the Giants’ bats were bleak as ever against Dodgers starter Lance Lynn, while Los Angeles’ powerful lineup lit up San Francisco rookie starter Keaton Winn for a trio of home runs (Will Smith, Freddie Freeman, J.D. Martinez).Final score: 6-2.1) No .500 finishIt was an inevitability that became a reality Friday night: the Giants will finish 2023 with a worse record than in 2022.That’s the kind of stagnation that can get a manager fired, and guess what — it did.The Giants needed to sweep the Dodgers this weekend to avoid securing a losing record, but the homer barrage against San Francisco’s rookie starter meant that dream died in the first game of the series. They have finished better than .500 only once — in their 107-win 2021 — in five seasons under Farhan Zaidi.Good news: They can’t finish any worse than Zaidi’s f...
