Morning Session: CREJ Commercial Real Estate Outlook & Expo
The day began with the CREJ Commercial Real Estate Outlook & Expo. This session focused on commercial development trends across Colorado. Jana Hutkova represented EVstudio during the morning event. Jana serves as CO-Director of the Industrial and Commercial Studio.
Industry experts discussed market forecasts, investment activity, and construction trends. Speakers also highlighted the evolving demand for office, industrial, and mixed-use developments. Events like this help design professionals stay ahead of shifting market dynamics. They also create opportunities for collaboration between developers and project teams.
For Jana, the expo provided valuable insight into the region’s commercial pipeline. It also opened conversations about how thoughtful design supports successful developments.
Afternoon Session: 2026 Spring Multifamily Development & Investment Conference
Later in the day, EVstudio joined the 2026 Spring Multifamily Development & Investment Conference and Expo. The event focused on housing trends, financing strategies, and new development opportunities.
Three EVstudio leaders attended the afternoon conference:
-
Mike Nickel – Multifamily Studio Director
-
Roxanne Jacobson – Housing Director and Principal
-
Gwyn Johnston – Project Architect
Together, they connected with developers, investors, and housing leaders. Conversations centered on multifamily demand, design innovation, and regulatory challenges.
These discussions help EVstudio align its design strategies with market realities. They also highlight opportunities for thoughtful housing development throughout Colorado.
Standing Out with a Little EVstudio Personality
Of course, the EVstudio team brought more than business cards. They also brought a sense of humor. Mike Nickel arrived with some memorable swag for attendees. His philosophy was simple: “Some companies bring pens. We bring mustache wax. Because standing out matters — in business and in facial hair.”
The lighthearted giveaway sparked plenty of smiles and conversations throughout the conference. In a crowded expo hall, memorable moments help build lasting connections. EVstudio understands and values that relationships drive great projects.
Building Relationships That Shape Better Communities
Events like these play an important role in the development industry. They bring together the people who shape cities and communities. For EVstudio, participation goes beyond networking. The team attends to listen, learn, and collaborate. Commercial, multifamily, and mixed-use projects all depend on strong partnerships. Developers, architects, engineers, and investors must work together from the beginning.
By engaging in these industry conversations, EVstudio continues to support thoughtful and sustainable development.
Looking Ahead
Colorado’s real estate market continues to evolve. Developers face changing economic conditions, regulatory requirements, and community expectations. However, collaboration and innovation continue to drive progress. EVstudio looks forward to continuing these conversations at future industry events. The firm remains committed to design solutions that support vibrant communities across the region.
