by Amy Works
GOLDEN, COLO. — AC Development, the Coor’s family development company, has completed The Pottery, an office building that is the first phase of Clayworks, a 14-acre redevelopment of the former CoorsTek ceramics manufacturing site in Golden. The project team for The Pottery includes AC Development as developer, Tryba Architects as architect and Holder Construction as general contractor. The completion of The Pottery also marks the return of CoorsTek’s global headquarters to its original location in Golden, where the company’s ceramics operation was established in 1910.

Louisville’s office market is turning a page. If the first act of the market’s rightsizing was defined by COVID-era downsizing, where companies shed space as remote work took hold, the second act looks different and harder to sum up in a single storyline. Today, several forces are pulling in different directions at once. Some companies are still reducing their footprints as leases renew. Others are expanding as employees return to the office and spend more days per week at their desks. Additionally, a wave of expiring pandemic-era leases is forcing tenants to make fresh decisions about how much space they need and where they want it. The result is a busy market moving in several directions simultaneously. So what does a “right-sized” Louisville office look like in 2026? Flight to quality continues More than anything, tenants are still chasing quality. Well-located, highly amenitized buildings continue to win the deals, and there is now significantly fewer premium space available than there was a couple of years ago. Many tenants have already made that move as their leases have come up for renewal. That demand is showing up in rents. The best-positioned buildings, with the right amenity mix in the right location, …

By Tony Kennedy, Colliers | St. Louis St. Louis is more than the Gateway Arch and the St. Louis Cardinals (although those are two pretty awesome things to have). With a robust and diversified economy, St. Louis continues to be a steady performer across all sectors predominantly in manufacturing, financial services, healthcare, biotech, energy and education. St. Louis ranks as the 23rd-largest metro area in the U.S. with an unemployment rate of 4.1 percent versus the national average of 4.4 percent. St. Louis doesn’t have high highs or low lows; rather it is the tortoise and not the hare when it comes to economic growth. And when it comes to real estate, the St. Louis office market follows a similar path and continues to show steady trends across key indicators. Overall, office vacancy continues to hover around 25 percent with some submarkets performing better than others. The Clayton submarket remains the “darling” of the St. Louis region with virtually no large blocks of space available and robust demand outweighing supply. With a Class A vacancy rate of 14 percent (about half the region’s average), Clayton landlords continue to push rates upward. Clayton office lease rates are hovering in the low …
