Excellent Proximity to the University of Denver
The University of Denver (DU) is a renowned private institution nestled in the heart of Denver, Colorado, offering a wide range of academic programs and fostering a vibrant, diverse community.
The university’s strong academic reputation attracts a steady flow of students, faculty, staff, and visiting professionals. For multifamily investors, the proximity of properties to DU presents a unique and valuable opportunity. The consistent demand for rental housing from both undergraduate and graduate students, as well as university employees, creates a stable and resilient rental market. With a large percentage of DU students looking for off-campus housing, properties located near the university benefit from high occupancy rates and low turnover. DU’s location within Denver, one of the fastest-growing cities in the U.S., ensures that multifamily properties in the area have strong potential for long-term appreciation. The university’s expansion and investments in new facilities often lead to a revitalization of the surrounding neighborhoods, driving property values upward. With its central location, excellent amenities, and growing student population, the University of Denver is a key driver of demand for nearby rental properties. For multifamily investors, this makes properties in close proximity to DU particularly attractive, offering a combination of reliable rental income, a stable tenant base, and strong potential for property value growth over time.
Glendale/University Supporting Data
The Glendale University Area submarket boasts remarkable market fundamentals, as evidenced by its impressively low vacancy rate relative to the Denver MSA average. A large number of new deliveries to the Denver market in the last 2 years has caused significant vacancy rate expansion across the metro area, but the Glendale University Area submarket was less impacted as a result of its strong fundamentals and relatively less inventory expansion. One of the primary demand drivers for this submarket is its proximity to downtown Denver and the Denver Tech Center, and its relatively cheaper housing costs, as evidenced by the average market rent being more than $200 lower than the Denver MSA average. The Glendale University Area submarket had the lowest relative inventory expansion out of 16 submarkets in Denver, which will lead to increased rent growth and reduced vacancy rates this year since the market has few new units to absorb. Impressive fundamentals in the Glendale University Area submarket will continue to drive demand, growth, and investment.
