Illinois is the fifth-largest energy-consuming state in the nation, and its industrial sector, which includes petroleum refining, coal mining and agriculture, uses the most energy of any end-use sector in the state. Illinois ranks fourth in the nation in crude oil refining capacity behind Texas, Louisiana and California, and the state's four refineries can process nearly one million barrels of crude oil per calendar day. The estimated recoverable coal reserves in Illinois are the second largest in the nation after Montana, and the state's coal mines account for 6% of U.S. total coal production. Illinois is the third-largest ethanol-producing state (1.4 billion gallons annually) and the fourth-largest biodiesel fuel producer (167 million gallons). Illinois generates more electricity from nuclear energy than any other state, and it accounted for about 13% of U.S. nuclear power generation in 2022.

Established in 2019, Gleeds’ Denver office is poised to become a leading player in the vibrant business landscape of the Mile-High City.

Named as one of the best places to live by U.S. News and World Report, Denver offers a unique blend of urban sophistication and outdoor adventure, making it an attractive destination for businesses and residents alike. As the largest city within 500 miles, Denver serves as a natural hub for the storage and distribution of goods and services to the mountain states, southwest states and all western states. Moreover, its central location makes it a major hub for the U.S., situated nearly equidistant from large cities of the Midwest and some large cities of the West Coast. This geographic advantage has attracted a considerable government presence, with many federal agencies based or having offices in the Denver area.
 
Our Denver team specializes in working with clients across sectors such as mission critical, workplace and commercial real estate. We are committed to leveraging our expertise and experience to deliver exceptional results for every project.

As our Denver team continues to grow, we look forward to building partnerships and making a positive impact on this mountain-based city and the surrounding areas.
