Development

Much of the development across the Colorado Front Range since the late 1990s has been the result of rapid population growth and progressive changes within local and regional governments.  We have been a key player in this transformation. Traditionally, our focus has been commercial, office/R&D, and multifamily development. Starting in 2002, we expanded our scope to include projects throughout the Front Range and along the I-70 corridor. We are currently developing several mixed-use projects in urban and suburban infill areas in addition to our traditional commercial projects.  This broadened experience creates a solid foundation for development as well as a diversified portfolio.

The main ingredient to our success over the years has been our ability to lead.  A key part of this leadership role is the ability to understand and work with local government, residents, and business owners of the various communities.  Leadership also includes the ability to “manage the process”. We are very successful in managing teams of professionals and working closely with municipalities and the public sector to ensure that projects meet the needs of all constituents.  This is also true when working with our private sector clients for build-to-suit projects and/or joint ventures.  Finally, leadership requires an in-depth knowledge of financial markets and the ability to access capital. We have numerous relationships with local, regional and national capital sources to assist with the financing of our development projects.

Development by definition is risky and uncertain. The risks and uncertainty can be mitigated by establishing and implementing a well-designed plan and a disciplined approach to each project. We strive to minimize risk and maximize the returns for all stakeholders and to develop sustainable projects that will have a positive impact on business and the community for years to come.
