Mountain Man Nut & Fruit Co. recently purchased 20 acres of land at Dove Valley Business Park in Arapahoe County for construction of a 155,000-square-foot headquarters facility. The facility, expected to start construction next year, will double the company’s footprint. Mountain Man currently occupies about 65,000 sf in Parker. “They selected the site because where they are currently located in Parker, they could not grow – they were landlocked,” said Rick Egitto of Inverness Properties. Egitto and Jeremy Reeves of Inverness Properties represented Mountain Man in the $2.35 million land acquisition. The Dove Valley site was close for the company’s employees, offers great views, has good transportation access and offers a retail presence fronting Broncos Parkway, Egitto said. The new facility will include office, manufacturing, distribution and retail space. It will feature state-of-the-art production and packaging systems as the company grows into new lines, including providing private-label products to Safeway and Albertsons stores in the northwest and eventually other parts of the country. It also offers room for up to 320,000 sf if the company needs to expand in the future. Jerry Kempf of Unique Properties LLC-TCN Worldwide represented Dove Valley Business Park in the sale.
