Newmark Secures Prime Industrial Outdoor Storage Facility for MTM Transit, LLC

May 22, 2023 9:00 AM

Newmark announces it has arranged a new 22,689-square-foot lease on behalf of MTM Transit, LLC–an industry leading transit provider helping transit agencies meet the transportation needs of their communities –at 280 West 62nd Avenue (the “Property”) in Denver, Colorado. The tenant signed a long-term lease to occupy the industrial outdoor storage (IOS) property, solidifying its paratransit operation in Denver. Newmark Managing Director Mike Viehmann represented the tenant on the lease transaction.

Given the nature of its business concept, MTM Transit had specific requirements for the site, including outdoor storage that could suitably accommodate a 100-passenger van fleet, proximate location to strong population bases and granted convenient access to Denver’s major freeways. In knowing the local landscape, Newmark identified an IOS property and successfully engaged with ownership prior to it coming to market.

“This transaction not only speaks to the continued demand for modern and functional IOS properties within the Denver market, but also the challenges faced when sourcing an asset under increasingly constricted supply levels,” said Viehmann. “Nevertheless, we embraced the opportunity that led to the identifying and securing of this true win-win outcome.”

“Newmark’s notable expertise of the local market paired with their ability to harness relationships, provided an exceptional customer experience with a level of trust unparalleled in the industry,” said Ben Schandle of MTM Transit, LLC.

Situated on a 4.06-acre parcel of land, 280 West 62nd Avenue is a modern, 22,000-square-foot facility primely located at the epicenter of Denver’s Central submarket. Originally built-to-suit for CenturyLink’s fleet operations, the property underwent numerous site improvements, including floor drains, a sand and oil trap separator, nearly three acres of storage yard that is fully fenced in and gated, 14 oversized grade-level drive-in doors and a wash bay, among others. Above all, the property grants convenient access to Interstates 25, 70, 76 and 270, along with US-36.

According to Newmark Research, the Denver Industrial market remained robust in the first quarter of 2023, posting 747,830 square feet of net absorption and a 7.8% vacancy rate at the close. Despite witnessing negative net absorption in Q1 of 2023, which can be attributed to the large move-out by Planterra Foods, the Central submarket maintained strong fundamentals and reported a 5.61% total vacancy rate.
