Newmark, Hyde Development and Mortenson are pleased to announce nearly 680,000 square feet of leasing and construction activity at 76 Commerce Center–a 1.7-million-square-foot, Class A industrial park in Brighton, Colorado. The activity comprises a new, 152,682-square-foot lease signed to an undisclosed tenant in Building 4 as well as the 526,400-square-foot groundbreaking of Building 3. The 76 Commerce Center development is a joint venture between Hyde Development and Mortenson.
Newmark Senior Managing Director Tim D’Angelo, SIOR; Executive Managing Director Mike Wafer, SIOR and Associate Director Mike Wafer Jr. are the exclusive marketing and leasing representatives of 76 Commerce Center and represented Hyde and Mortenson in the lease transaction. The tenant was represented by Sam Dragan with CBRE.
Building 4, which totals 352,240 square feet, was completed in August. There are nearly 200,000 square feet remaining for lease, divisible to 50,000 square feet. According to Newmark Research, the 152,682-square-foot lease is one of the largest industrial leases this quarter in metro Denver. Building 3, which broke ground in September, will measure 526,400 square feet, is of cross dock design with significant trailer parking and will be divisible for between one and four tenants.
“We have experienced incredible tenant interest in 76 Commerce Center,” said Wafer. “Users are attracted to the development’s location on, visibility from and superior access to the front range via I-76; outstanding design with large truck courts and trailer parking and proximity to a vast labor pool.”
“The growth of warehouse and industrial real estate has been notable as the e-commerce industry keeps pace with consumer demand and changing retail behaviors accelerated by COVID-19,” commented D’Angelo. “The new building that just broke ground at 76 Commerce Center can accommodate a variety of warehousing, distribution and light manufacturing uses.”
“As construction begins on 76 Commerce Center’s second to last building, we continue to welcome high-quality tenants as the value of the e-commerce, warehousing and industrial sector is reaffirmed by consumer behavior throughout the last few unprecedented months,” said Paul Hyde, President of Hyde Development. One 546,000-square-foot building–Building 1–remains to be developed in the industrial park and is planned to break ground next year.
The 76 Commerce Center development is a first class, ultra-modern industrial business center with immediate access to Interstate 76 and includes a variety of building types from bulk warehouse to office/warehouse and light manufacturing, with flexible building size options and state-of-the-art building features. It showcases features including clear heights of 32’ - 36’, 60 mil TPO “cool roofs,” ESFR sprinklers, and significant auto and trailer parking, combined with direct access to I-76 and a mile of frontage. Located in enterprise and foreign trade zones, 76 Commerce Center also offers quick permitting with PUD zoning in place.
