The project team navigated these challenges and brought the project to com-

pletion on schedule and within budget.

“We were already very familiar with the ASARCO site, having explored sev-

eral master planning schemes over the past decade even before remediation

was completed,” Chaiken said. “Combined with our understanding of the Denver

commercial real estate market and our expertise in industrial building and site

design, we were well-positioned to fulfill our client’s vision.”

Ware Malcomb and Jansen Strawn’s long history of working together, as well

as both firm’s experience with the site, put us in a great position to succeed. Ware

Malcomb acquired Denver-based Jansen Strawn in 2016.

It is evident that the project team’s hard work has paid off. Crossroads Com-

merce Park was recently named the 2017 Infill Project of the Year by the Urban

Land Institute’s Colorado Chapter, as well as the 2016 Industrial Development of

the Year by the Colorado Chapter of NAIOP, the Commercial Real Estate Devel-

opment Association.

“It is an honor that the work of everyone involved in Crossroads Commerce

Park has been recognizedwith these prestigious awards,” Sperling said. “The com-

munity will reap the benefits of this project far into the future.”

Indeed, the project has already made a significant impact. The former ASARCO

site no longer sits as a brownfield to be avoided, and has taken on a new role as

the site of a bustling industrial hub. With Crossroads Commerce Park already

leased to high-profile national e-commerce and distribution tenants, as well as

three build-to-suit projects for user-owners completed with a fourth to begin

construction in August, the project has provided an economic boost to the local

economy, providing new jobs in addition to tax revenue.

The success of Crossroads Commerce Park has shown the Globeville area to be

a viable industrial real estate market, paving the way for several similar projects

nearby. As developers continue to show interest in the area, all signs point up-

ward for the growth of the I-25 Northern Denver real estate market.
