An industrial investment
property in the Airport-Mont-
bello submarket traded for
$3.33 million, or about $28,000
more than the asking price.
Denver-based F&F Proper-
ties bought the 51,640-square-
foot building at 5005 Ironton
St. in Denver from Northstar
Commercial Partners. The
price equates to $64.48 per sf,
well below replacement cost,
according to CBRE.
The building is fully leased
to two tenants: Colorado Party
Rental and Colorado Tent Co.,
each of which has seven to 10
years remaining on its lease.
Northstar brought the ten-
ants to the building when it
acquired the property for $1.3
million in 2011 and recently
invested more than $1 million
in tenant-specific improve-
ments.
Industrial investment prop-
erties are highly sought after
in Denver, and CBRE’s Jere-
my Ballenger said the prop-
erty “went under contract very
quickly.” Ballenger represented
the seller with CBRE’s Tyler
Carner and Bill Thompson.
Building features include
dock-high and rail loading, and
16- to 22-foot clear height.

long-term lease for 30,000 sf of
industrial space at East Quincy
Energy Park, a 350,000-sf corpo-
rate industrial campus at 34501 E.
Quincy Ave. in Watkins.
The company will move its
headquarters to Building 65, a

formerly occupied by Autoliv.
Precision Steel currently is locat-
ed on the South Santa Fe Drive
industrial corridor.
Zach Smith
and
Greg Knott
of
Unique Properties LLC-TCN
Worldwide
represented the
landlord,
East Quincy Holding
LLC.
“One of the landlord’s objec-
tives was to acquire a diversified
tenant mix because recent trends
communicate a continuing sed-
entary oil and gas industry,” said
Smith. “ConocoPhillips occupies
a significant part of the campus,
making this objective a priority
for me, and we are pleased that
we were able to accomplish this,”
he said.
The landlord has made signifi-
cant capital improvements to the
building in the last year, includ-
ing updates to the office and
warehouse areas.
The property was an “excel-
lent” option for Precision Steel’s
headquarters because of the
aggressive lease rate offered com-
pared to historically high rates
in the central industrial market,
according to Smith. The building
has 130,000 sf available for lease.

A local investor picked up a
set of five industrial buildings
on 2.06 acres along the new
commuter rail line to Denver
International Airport for $2.5
million.
Located at 4200, 4201 and

Gold said the property is
ideal for a future transit-orient-
ed development because it is
within a couple of blocks of the
East Rail station at East 40th
Avenue and Colorado Boule-
vard. The East Rail, or A Line,
from Denver Union Station to
DIA will open next year.

court “on anything related to

Nor has the company
missed a schedule or had to
go back to investors to ask
for more money for a project,
Barber said. “Really that is the
catapult that’s made us so suc-
cessful because our investors
have a lot of trust in us.”
Barber has been married to
his wife, Kelli, for 20 years,

much further – they met on the
first day of school in seventh
grade. They have two children,
16-year-old Mason, and Mae-

Barber loves the outdoors

hunting – and being involved

The sublease consumes about
half of Pioneer’s former space
in the building. Approximately
20,000 sf remains available.
“We were attracted to the
space because it was already
built out and felt brand-new
without having to undergo a
large capital investment,” said
Laramie Energy President and
Chief Financial Officer Bruce
Payne.
Holm, with CBRE’s Denver
Occupier Advisory and Trans-

resented the company in the
sublease. “We could not have
been anywhere as successful in
this endeavor without Greg’s
invaluable business advice and
management of the timetable
at every stop of the way,” said
Payne.
