If you’re a business owner in Colorado, California, Connecticut or elsewhere who’s ever sold a commercial real estate property, you know the painful sting that comes with realizing just how much of your hard-earned equity is about to be eaten up by taxes. Between capital gains, depreciation recapture, and state income tax obligations, a third or more of your money can vanish overnight. It’s frustrating because you worked for years to create that value, and suddenly the government/IRS reaches into your pocket to pilfer the results of your efforts.

When tax law changes, so does the investment landscape—and the newly signed "Big Beautiful Bill" is a tectonic shift for commercial real estate investors.
Signed into law on July 4, 2025, this legislation revives and enhances a number of key tax incentives that had either sunsetted or been phased out in recent years. And the result?

Here’s a breakdown of why this is a moment that savvy investors should pay close attention to—and act on.
We’ve all heard the headlines: "Downtown offices are dead," or "Cities rush to turn towers into apartments." Sounds dramatic, right? But let’s pause the media noise for a minute and take a closer look—especially at what this actually means for business owners and property decision-makers here in Denver.
You know the old saying, “April showers bring May flowers”? Well, in commercial real estate (CRE) right now — especially here in good ol’ Colorado — it’s not just about green lawns and blooming gardens. It’s about a market that's weathering some storms... and setting the table for those who know how to plant the right seeds today to harvest a bounty tomorrow.
Let’s dive in. Grab your umbrella — and maybe your checkbook.
The post-2020 workplace continues to undergo significant transformation, with some younger employees hesitant to return to traditional office environments.
