DENVER, CO (July 7, 2025) — Newmark, in collaboration with United Properties, announces the Company has arranged the $25.5 million sale of Enterprise Business Center Building 7 (“EBC 7”), a premier 157,942-square-foot industrial property located at 9420 E. 40th Avenue in Denver. The buyer is Dream US Industrial Fund, an entity of Dream REIT.

Executive Managing Director Mike Wafer and Executive Vice Chairman Tim Richey, Managing Directors Michael Wafer Jr. and Mike Viehmann, Associate Director Jack Richey and Analyst Sean Fitzgerald represented the seller, United Properties, which started development on Enterprise Business Center in 2015 and constructed Building 7 in 2017. EBC 7 has since served as a cornerstone and the “front door” of the award-winning development, strategically located near the intersection of I-70 and Central Park Boulevard in Denver’s East submarket. Known for its exceptional access, proximity to major highways and robust labor pool, the EBC campus is home to major tenants including FedEx, Coca-Cola, Breakthru Beverage, Tire Rack and Aramark.

“Enterprise Business Center has stood as a testament to thoughtful development and enduring value over the past decade,” said Chris Wold, Vice President of Asset Management for United Properties. “The sale of EBC 7 is a strategic transaction as we look to continue development in the Denver market, including 817,000 sq ft under construction at Aero 70.”

“EBC 7 checks every box for today’s industrial investor, as a Class A building in a core infill location, with the upside of below market rents and a short-term WALT,” added Wafer. “Interest in the property was extremely strong which is a testament to both the quality of the asset and the overall development by United Properties.”

The property features Class A industrial amenities including 24-foot-clear ceilings, ESFR sprinklers, high-end office/showroom buildouts and a large truck court, among other amenities.

According to Newmark Research, the Denver’s east region is the largest and most institutionally-owned industrial submarket, accounting for roughly 42% of the market’s inventory and 62% of its absorption.

AURORA, COLORADO (Oct. 16, 2024) — United Properties is pleased to announce the acquisition of 129.26 acres of prime industrial land in Aurora, Colorado. The site will be developed as the Aero 70 industrial complex, located adjacent to the future interchange of Aerotropolis Parkway, a new major arterial roadway, and Interstate 70. United Properties closed on the property on Oct. 16.

“United Properties immediately recognized the potential of the Aero 70 industrial park property,” says Jim Bolt, vice chairman, CBRE. “Adjacent to the highly successful Park 70 development, the future development on the Aero 70 site will offer state-of-the-art industrial buildings available for lease and purchase, as well as land sites for sale, all with excellent visibility, toll-free access and unique highway access through the new Aerotropolis Boulevard interchange off I-70.”

The development of Aero 70 will occur in two phases:

Phase I: Industrial development

The first phase will deliver two 400,000-sq.-ft. cross-dock industrial buildings, divisible from 100,000 sq. ft. and up. These buildings will feature abundant trailer parking, exceptional highway visibility and direct access to the new interchange.

“We expect Phase I to deliver in late 2025, which aligns with market demand,” says Todd Witty, senior vice president, CBRE. “This timing coincides with the projected need for additional new industrial supply in the Denver area. We’ve seen increased demand from large occupiers in 2024, positioning the market for growth in 2025.”

Phase II: Future development

Phase II will develop an additional 65.73 acres, conceptually designed to accommodate up to 1.1 million sq. ft. of cross-dock space, with flexibility for future expansion depending on market conditions.

Strategic location and vision

“We are excited to expand our footprint in the dynamic Denver market,” says Mindy Rietz, vice president, commercial development, United Properties. “With its prime location near key transportation hubs, Aero 70 offers an unparalleled opportunity for businesses seeking easy access to the airport and the broader Denver region.”

The site is also within a designated Opportunity Zone and Enterprise Zone, which offers significant economic incentives for future tenants and potential tax savings for owners.

Phil Cattanach, executive vice president, commercial development, United Properties, adds, “The Aero 70 development results from a multi-year collaboration involving numerous stakeholders. The project will significantly enhance transportation infrastructure in the area, creating a critical throughway to Denver International Airport and becoming a prominent fixture along I-70. Aero 70 continues United Properties’ long history of industrial development in the Denver metropolitan area, totaling over 3.5 million sq. ft. to date. We have had tremendous success with industrial development in Denver, and we have additional industrial development sites in our pipeline.”

Sustainability features

In line with United Properties’ commitment to sustainability, the Aero 70 project will include pre-installed conduits for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, low-water landscaping, increased structural roof loads for future solar installation and clerestory windows to maximize natural light.
The development will utilize ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager and Conservice ESG software to monitor energy, water and waste consumption, ensuring ongoing sustainability performance.

Key project partners

• General contractor: Brinkmann Constructors is responsible for site work, infrastructure and core/shell delivery.
• Leasing: Todd Witty (todd.witty@cbre.com), Daniel Close (daniel.close@cbre.com) and Jim Bolt (james.bolt@cbre.com) with CBRE are actively marketing both phases for pre-leasing opportunities.

DENVER (Feb. 12, 2024) — United Properties announced today the sale of Trade@2534, a Class A industrial development located at 4201 Ronald Reagan Blvd. in Johnstown, Colorado, to California-based Nearon Enterprises, LLC. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The development is strategically located near the intersection of Interstate 25 and U.S. Highway 34, and offers modern, functional space for companies to grow and thrive in a business-friendly community. Trade@2534 was completed in 2022 and fully leased within eight months of delivery to a diverse tenant roster, including PODS, Kroger, Radial Engineering, SCP Distributors and Stevens Equipment Supply.

“Trade@2534 addressed a need for Class A industrial space in the Northern Colorado region and was well received by tenants,” says Mindy Rietz, vice president, commercial development, United Properties. “We believe the recent sale to Nearon Enterprises is a testament to the continued maturation of the region.”

The sale includes two Class A buildings — Building 1 is a 72,896-sq.-ft. single-load building and Building 2 is a 145,008-sq.-ft. cross-dock facility. The Class A development provides 24 feet and 28 feet clear heights, and features energy-efficient, modern designs, TPO 60-mil “Cool Roofs,” ESFR sprinkler systems and modern truck courts with significant car parking.

Jeremy Ballenger, Tyler Carner, Jim Bolt and Jessica Ostermick with CBRE represented United Properties in the sale of Trade@2534.

“Class A assets like Trade@2534 in the I-25 North submarket are extremely rare and are the most coveted among users,” adds Ballenger, executive vice president of capital markets and industrial properties, CBRE. “Both of these buildings offer additional divisibility, plus the park has a leased industrial outdoor storage (IOS) site that also provides future upside as either a development site or IOS.”

Trade@2534 is part of a joint venture partnership between United Properties and PCCP, LLC, a Los Angeles-based real estate investment management firm.
