Newmark Knight Frank Announces Industrial Sale for $7.1M
Newmark Knight Frank (NKF) announced the sale of 4920 North Washington Street in Denver. The 40,530-square- foot industrial asset located on 4.29 acres was sold by GI Investments, LLC for $7.1 million ($175.18 per square foot) to a local developer. NKF’s Managing Director Russell Gruber represented GI Investments, LLC in the transaction.
Located near the new $1.1 billion National Western Center (NWC) in the Globeville / Elyria Swansea neighborhoods (coined the National Western Neighborhood) with frontage along Washington Street, 4920 North Washington’s sale price achieved the highest price-per- square-foot so far in an area defined by high demand and redevelopment opportunities.
“The National Western Stock Show redevelopment has triggered the next genre of transformation for the National Western Neighborhood, and the sale of the older, Class C industrial asset 4920 North Washington for record level pricing per square foot indicates the high demand for redevelopment opportunities in the area,” noted Gruber. “Located ideally for value creation, the competition was fierce for 4920 North Washington. Now that much of the vacant land is off the market, the next level of opportunity will focus on older, antiquated industrial real estate – especially ones located on larger land parcels, and with a larger than average footprint.”
“Denver is booming, both economically and culturally,” commented George Medley, owner of GI Investments. “This is an opportunity to redevelop this industrial space for a new use in line with the transforming National Western Neighborhood’s rapid growth. This is the third transaction I’ve worked on with Russell Gruber and NKF, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome.”

The buyer was Aragon Holdings of Los Angeles.
“Ten30 and Ten49 are the only apartment communities of this size in the Broomfield/Interlocken submarket with pre-1980s construction, so they offered value-add potential that simply can’t be found elsewhere in the area,” said Young, vice president, CBRE Capital Markets, Colorado Multifamily Investment Properties. “With their central Broomfield location, Ten30 and Ten49 are perfectly positioned to access two of the metro area’s major job centers—Interlocken and north Denver, including Thornton/Westminster. Several large employers have announced new or expanded operations in these areas recently, which will bring even more job opportunities to the area.”

We are seeing capital sources from across the country turning to secondary markets like Colorado Springs to discover untapped retail investment opportunities with promising returns.”
Built in 1986, Town and Country includes two single-story, multi-tenant buildings plus a 2,560-square-foot pad site occupied by 7-Eleven.
