Etkin Johnson Sells Premier 57.8 Acres to Centura Health for $30M
Etkin Johnson Real Estate Partners, a full-service, privately owned commercial real estate investment and development company based in Colorado, today announced the firm sold a 57.813-acre parcel to Centura Health for $30 million. Located at the intersection of I-25 and InterQuest Parkway, the parcel is slated for a third hospital campus for Centura Health’s Penrose-St. Francis Health Services, a full-service, 522-bed acute care facility in Colorado Springs, which includes Penrose Hospital and St. Francis Medical Center.
“Northern Colorado Springs is quickly becoming a leading economic engine, paving a clear path of growth for the city,” said Ryan Good, partner at Etkin Johnson. “This highly visible site will allow Centura Health to better serve Coloradoans, while also providing their doctors, nurses and staff with multiple options for housing nearby. We plan to reinvest the capital into future developments and acquisitions that are currently in the works.”
Etkin Johnson purchased the site as part of a 77-acre parcel in 2016. The site’s strategic location, just east of the U.S. Air Force Academy, offers unobstructed views of nearby Pikes Peak and easy access to several new multifamily, office, hotel and retail developments in the area. In 2017, Colorado Springs’ economic growth hit a seven-year high, leading to a surge of new businesses and residents, particularly millennials. Colorado Springs currently ranks sixth in the country for highest share of millennials overall, at 26.4 percent.
In 2018, Etkin Johnson broke ground on FalconView, a 288-unit luxury apartment community immediately adjacent to the site. Etkin Johnson currently owns more than 3 million square feet of industrial and office property, along with hospitality and multifamily assets along the Front Range.

NKF Secures $25M Loan for Moxy Denver Cherry Creek
Newmark Knight Frank announced this week that its Debt & Structured Finance team secured a $25 million loan on behalf of BMC Investments from Goldman Sachs for the refinancing of the Moxy Denver Cherry Creek leasehold interest located in Denver.
The 170-key Moxy hotel opened in November 2017 as part of Marriott International’s new select-service lifestyle brand catering to millennials and rate-conscious travelers with attractive designs and finishes. The hotel’s location in the heart of the vibrant Cherry Creek neighborhood is steps from the renowned Cherry Creek Shopping Center as well as an abundance of art galleries, boutiques, restaurants and spas.
BMC Investments is a leading developer in the Cherry Creek area, having invested more than $500 million across numerous transformative projects, including the luxurious 154-key Halycon hotel and the newly completed, mixed-use St Paul Collection offering 165 apartment units and 55,000 square feet of retail space. Matthew Joblon, co-founder, and Brian Cason represented BMC Investments in the transaction.
“The Moxy Denver Cherry Creek has filled a void for the value-oriented guest in Cherry Creek by providing a new, modern lodging option with excellent communal amenities such as the Cherry Creek Beer Garden,” said Mr. Stolly.
“The Moxy’s strong operating momentum since opening last November enabled retiring the construction loan with permanent financing prior to achieving stabilization. The loan provides a 10 year term, 10 year interest-only structure at a very attractive fixed rate (5.06%),” added Mr. Roeschlaub.
