    Pikes Peak Region Economy Shows Signs of Recovery After Construction Downturn

    0
    By Bill Craighead on August 7, 2026 Business Insights, Regional Experts

    Data we track at the UCCS Economic Forum indicates that the Pikes Peak region’s economy is coming out of a recent soft patch. We’re not seeing an economic boom, but activity is expanding at a healthier pace than it was a year ago.

    In much of 2024 and 2025, the Colorado Springs area was experiencing the downside of a real estate and construction cycle that was much sharper here than it was nationwide. Low interest rates and the shift to working from home drove a significant increase in building.
