Welcome to The Compass

Welcome to The Compass, the official blog of the Downtown Denver Partnership. We’re going a mile deep to tell the stories of how we are collectively building the Mile High City. The Compass is our guiding force – inspiring each of us to learn how we as city builders have a chance to make our city a better place. 

We’ll be sharing food for thought and exclusive insights to keep you – Downtown Denver’s business community – informed; taking a fresh look into the Partnership’s many placemaking initiatives, conversations, and economic development efforts; and supporting the growth and vitality of our resilient downtown businesses. As you dive into The Compass, we invite you to use these stories to help you find ways to get involved in the Partnership’s programs, initiatives, events, and more. Become a part of the Partnership’s story and help us collectively navigate what it means to build our city.

Each month, we will be sharing 3-4 stories, themed around everything from Partnership initiatives, to interviews with downtown businesses, why trees are important in downtown, the best places to have your morning meetings, and more. Keep up with us on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram @downtowndenver, and make sure you’re subscribed to The Compass monthly newsletter.
