An EPS fiscal impact analysis was a key factor in the Sebastopol City Council’s recent approval of an 83-room boutique hotel project planned adjacent to the popular Barlow Market. When completed, the so-called Barlow Hotel will provide upscale amenities including, spa facilities, a restaurant, and a rooftop bar located a few blocks from the city’s downtown.
The EPS analysis found that the project would likely have a highly positive impact on the City’s General Fund, driven largely by transient occupancy tax revenue. The analysis also supported the City’s negotiations with the developer, including discussions around development impact fee waivers. The project was approved by the City Council on April 15 and is expected to boost local tourism, business activity, and economic growth.
EPS Denver is excited to announce that we have moved into a new office space!
The EPS Denver office opened in November of 1999, with two employees. In 2001, EPS had an opportunity to move into an office condominium in the historic Equitable Building in downtown Denver. The Equitable Building, built in 1892, has inspiring architecture, a rich history, and most importantly, provided long-term potential for our team to expand. In 2008, EPS Denver had the opportunity to buy an adjacent suite to allow for additional growth.
As EPS Denver has continued to grow, it became apparent that we needed more space to work and collaborate. In April 2025, our office moved 500 ft down the street to the Hudson Bay Center.
We are now located on the 18th floor of the Hudson Bay Center at 1600 Stout Street. Our new office has beautiful views of the mountains to the west, the Colorado State Capital to the south, and a bird’s eye view of the soon-to-be completed renovation of the 16th Street Mall. The new location has more offices, a large open kitchen to gather in, and collaborative co-working spaces to meet our expanded needs.
EPS Denver is proud to have grown to 16 full-time employees. We continue to be busy and growing. It is bittersweet to leave the Equitable Building, but we love our new space and are thankful for the opportunity to plan for the future!
