Sponsorship Opportunities
From investors, owners and developers to architects, brokers, engineers and other professionals...
NAIOP IS COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE.
With over 700 members serving the local Denver Metro and larger Colorado market, the NAIOP Colorado Chapter has the people, knowledge and education to help you find connections and stay ahead of the curve, and make deals.
CONNECT WITH PARTNERS AND TOOLS THAT MATTER.
NAIOP Colorado connects you to the key players and valuable resources that will have a meaningful impact on your business. That means you don’t have to waste time, energy and money aimlessly searching for these productive connections on your own.
- Over 38% of our membership are developers, owners, investors and asset managers.
- Average combined yearly attendance of over 4,300 people at local Chapter events and programs. The virtual and hybrid events held in 2020 maintained high attendance and visibility for partners.
- NAIOP Members are a unique audience; over 80% do NOT belong to other organizations such as ULI, BOMA and ICSC.
WE DRIVE LEGISLATIVE AND POLITICAL ACTION.
We take a stand on legislative and political issues affecting your business, and we drive solutions that are best for the industry and Colorado. We boldly initiate productive conversation on your behalf to remove barriers and shape policy regulations so that you can do business in a profitable, efficient and responsible way.
- Took an active role on the Green Roof Task Force which published a 100+ page reprot on how to move Denver toward energy efficiency and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. This included placing a sales tax measure on the ballot in place of a proposed energy tax.
- Participate in a coalition opposing the proposed Limited Growth Ballot Initiative that would limit new housing permits to 1% per year. These efforts have resulted in the proposal being pulled from the ballot.
- Hold a leadership position in the Colorado Real Estate Alliance (CREA), a coalition of 17 real estate related organizations who work together on issues.
IT'S SOCIAL AND FUN.
We’re serious about commercial real estate, but we’re also seriously fun! You can socialize and let loose with people who care about the same things you do, while building valuable business relationships with powerful industry influencers.
- NAIOP Colorado annually hosts over 20 educational events to include: The Rocky Mountain Real Estate Challenge – a real-world development competition for real estate graduate students from the universities of CU and DU; the Annual Property Tour highlighting office, retail, hospitality, multihousing and industrial projects in metro Denver; plus, numerous meetings focused on real estate technology, market forecasts, public policy and more.
- The chapter produces unique and essential events like Fight Night and the Winter Classic Hockey, Curling and Skiing adventures which not only provide endless hours of networking opportunities, they also raise funds in support of local charities such as Children’s Hospital Colorado and Denver Active 20-30 Children’s Foundation.
- We provide numerous complimentary networking occasions for NAIOP members and sponsors through quarterly Real Estate on the Rocks, Member/Sponsor Only programs, and the Annual Holiday Party.
- While many of these programs had to be reimagined in 2020, we are planning a vibrant body of programming in 2021.
WE ADDRESS DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSIVITY.
We have taken active steps to address diversity in our industry by partnering with the Denver Public Schools Career Connect program and joining the Graduate Real Estate Association (GREA) at the University of Colorado to produce an educational series on Social Equity in Real Estate. We have also created a Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity Committee to continue to address these issues.

2021 NAIOP ROCKY MOUNTAIN REAL ESTATE CHALLENGE
presented by LAND TITLE
Featuring DOWD JUNCTION, sponsored by TOWN OF MINTURN
19th ANNUAL COMPETITION DAY
Thursday, April 20, 2021 • 12:30 PM - 5:30 PM MDT
Virtual or In-Person Education and Networking Event
The Rocky Mountain Real Estate Challenge (RMREC) is a real-world development competition between graduate level real estate programs at the Daniels College of Business at the University of Denver and the Leeds School of Business at the University of Colorado Boulder. Finalist teams compete for scholarships, future employment, and ultimately the NAIOP Cup! A panel of highly respected judges make the ultimate call on which development plan is the best for the site. The competition, hosted by NAIOP, culminates at the main event, providing one of the best networking opportunities in the industry. Over 600 real estate professionals attend, including developers, attorneys, lenders, architects, brokers, engineers, contractors and public officials.
Land Title Guarantee Company and NAIOP Colorado are thrilled to announce that Dowd Junction, sponsored by the Town of Minturn, will be the development site for the 19th Annual Rocky Mountain Real Estate Challenge (the Challenge) to be held on April 29, 2021.
The focus of the this year's competition is a 15-acre site in Minturn, CO at the junction of I-70 and Highway 24 to Leadville. Nestled between Vail and Beaver Creek in Eagle County, Minturn is a small town with big character. In addition to historic architecture and charming homes, the historic town boasts great restaurants, unique shops, and access to plenty of outdoor adventures. Minturn is surrounded on three sides by White River National Forest, with the Holy Cross Wilderness bordering the southwest side of the town.
Located 5 miles west of Vail and 5 miles east of Avon along I-70, the site provides excellent access along the interstate and will act as a gateway into the town of Minturn. The project site contains two parcels, totaling 15-acres, on either side of Highway 24, including a 13.3-acre site on the south side of the highway and a 1.7-acre site on the north side of the highway. With the site owned by the US Forest Service, and no current zoning in place, student teams will need to consider a mix of uses such as public parking and access to the Meadow Mountain recreation area, transit opportunities, access to Eagle River, commercial development, and affordable housing options for the valley, all factors that present when developing in a mountain community.
Join Land Title Guarantee Company and NAIOP Colorado on April 29th as we cheer on the competing MBA Students from CU and DU as they present their plans for the Town of Minturn's Dowd Junction site!

Each school forms multiple student teams who are enrolled in the real estate development classes in each real estate program. Each team is charged with creating a vision for the property conducting market research on uses for the property, working with a local architectural firm (secured to participate by NAIOP) to assist them in the project’s design, refinement of the vision the respect with respect to the zoning and entitlements carried by the property. The finalists from each school are judged by a group of seasoned real estate professionals the day of the event. A traveling trophy is awarded to the winning team.
