Rumblings Around the Office… Year-End 2025
We all attend those holiday cocktail parties and, like you, some I look forward to, others I think, “do we have to?” However, I did hear a few comments that are worth pondering. Add that to a world that changes so rapidly that by the time you go to bed and sleep for eight hours, big changes have occurred. Hello, White House… you think shutting down NCAR is a good idea? More on that later, but what about those cocktail party comments?
Life Sciences in Boulder: Cooling, Not Collapsing
A few years ago, Boulder’s life sciences sector was heralded as the city’s “next big thing.” Backed by CU Boulder’s BioFrontiers Institute, a pipeline of spinouts, and major real estate investments like BioMed Realty’s acquisition of Flatiron Park, the region looked poised to rival traditional biotech hubs. In fact, Colorado’s life sciences industry raised roughly $2.15 billion in 2024, with Boulder home to more than 300 life sciences companies employing over 8,000 professionals.
Q2 2025 Rumblings Around The Office…
The months of April, May, and June sometimes feel like no man’s land to me. Ski season is pretty much over, but we still get snow—and those teasing spring days where it feels like 80 degrees, then suddenly it’s 40, reminding us how quickly things can change. One minute we’re in shorts, and a few hours later, snow is approaching and we’re totally underdressed. But for how long… no man’s land.

Q1 2025 – Rumblings Around the Office…
As we shed our winter coats, I can’t help but think how our weather feels a lot like the economy right now—ever-changing in unpredictable ways, bringing both great enthusiasm (hello, Sundance!) and uncertainty (looking at you, national leadership). Instead of an expected uptick in mergers and acquisitions, we got chaos: mass federal firings, unclear tariff policies, and, yes, bird flu.
‘Years in the making’: Redtail Ridge to finally break ground in April
LOUISVILLE — After more than a half-decade, dozens of government hearings and votes, a name change, an ownership change and a special election, the sprawling Redtail Ridge mega-development in Louisville is expected to break ground in April.

Rumblings Around The Office, Year-End 2024
As I sit in my office and look west, for the first time I can see directly through to the University of Colorado football stadium. Prior to 2024, it was the famed Millennium Harvest House and home to the Rocky Mountain Tennis Center. I can’t begin to count the countless hours I spent on those courts or those F.A.C.s that were so famously memorialized in Newsweek magazine. A year from now, the 600-plus units of student housing will be vertical, and my view will instead be of future CU students who may invent the next cure for cancer or perhaps become the next Heisman Trophy winner.
