Corridor’s day arrives; lease rates start to rise

Lease rates for office space along the Denver/Boulder corridor on U.S. 36 have climbed

dramatically in the last 18 months, as Sun Microsystems Inc. moves into the Interlocken office park and other high-tech companies search for expansion space in the area, commercial real estate professionals say.

In the last year and half leasing rates have increased substantially from $11 per square foot in some buildings to $17 to $18 per square foot now, said Ryan Cunningham, senior vice president of LaSalle Partners, the tenant representative for Sun Microsystems.
