Opus has announced that Building 1B, a 204,908-square-foot building within its Sun Empire industrial development in Aurora, is fully leased. A leading manufacturer took occupancy of 146,141 square feet in the fall of 2025, and a global logistics company has now signed a lease for the remaining 58,767 square feet.
“Aurora continues to experience tremendous growth as a direct result of manufacturing, healthcare and retail expansion here, and that growth is driving demand for high-quality, amenity-rich and advantageously located industrial space,” said Randy Danielson, senior director of real estate development with Opus. “Fortunately, that’s just what Sun Empire offers.”
A joint venture between Opus and Principal Asset Management®, Sun Empire is a 169-acre, multi-phase, master-planned industrial development. It is located at 25000 East 56th Avenue and is just three miles from Denver International Airport and within close proximity to E-470 and Interstate 70, and the new Philip Morris Zyn facility.
The development’s first phase includes two speculative Class A buildings totaling 830,086 square feet. Building 1A, a 625,178-square-foot building, remains available for lease. It offers a 40-foot clear height, 112 cross-docked doors, 388 vehicle parking spaces, 91 trailer parking stalls and two transformers with up to 8,000 amps of power. It also includes an office suite with four private offices, a conference room, a break room, an IT room and restrooms, and it is Internet-ready.
Opus was the developer, design-builder and architect and structural engineer of record on this project. Todd Witty and Daniel Close of CBRE are marketing the remaining space.
