The property is near Denver’s urban core, and is located conveniently, having immediate access to the amenities offered by the River North Arts District.

As part of the business strategy, the joint venture will invest nearly $47 million to transform the industrial property into a collaborative multi-tenant campus. The property is expected to accommodate light industrial, creative manufacturing, and urban flex tenants who have been affected by the shifting of industrial space in and around Denver.

Ari Stutz of Wolf/Stutz Investments said: “I’m confident our combined team will do a great job reintegrating this property back into the community. The neighbors call the old military-installed barb wire fence that surrounds the property the “Impenetrable Wall of Doom” – we are looking forward to removing that barrier and restoring connections to both our project and the new 39th Avenue Greenway.”
