Unpacking Colorado’s Construction Defects: Why Liability Insurance for Developers is Costly and Scarce (Part 2 of EDCCs Construction Defects Series)

Part 1 of EDCC’s Construction Defects Series highlighted the profound impact of limited and costly liability insurance on Colorado’s multi-family housing supply and overall cost of living. Building on the understanding that insurers are largely absent due to litigation risks, Part 2 will explore how to create an environment that attracts and sustains a competitive insurance market in Colorado. Discover how addressing this critical piece of the puzzle can significantly drive down housing premiums, stimulate much-needed construction, and strengthen Colorado’s ability to attract and retain talent and businesses. Join us August 20, 2025, from 10 – 11:30 a.m.
