3121 Tejon Street | LoHi Mixed-Use / Owner-User / Redevelopment Opportunity
PUT YOUR BUSINESS IN THE HEART OF LoHi at Tejon Street and 32nd. Rare C-MX-3 zoned opportunity offering strong visibility, heavy foot traffic, and excellent potential for conversion, repositioning, future build-out, or scrape-and-redevelop potential.
This unique dual-frontage property combines valuable Tejon Street business exposure with a quieter residential presence on Umatilla. The Tejon side, commonly identified as 3121 Tejon Street, offers a highly visible setting that may be ideal for retail, office, commercial, studio, showroom, or service-based business use. The Umatilla side, provides a more private residential setting, with a secluded sunken backyard creating separation between the two orientations.
While the legal city address for the entire property is 3122 Umatilla Street, the garage address used for USPS, shipping, and business purposes is 3121 Tejon Street. This gives the property a rare and highly functional live/work character, with quiet residential access on Umatilla and valuable commercial, retail, or office presence on Tejon.
The property is being sold as one parcel including both the house and garage. The house is a 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath residence that underwent a complete permitted gut renovation and rebuild in 2007. Improvements included new copper plumbing, updated electrical, insulation, drywall, HVAC, and Andersen double-hung windows. The residence offers a well-updated residential component that pairs well with the flexibility and business potential of the Tejon-oriented garage/shop.
The residence fronts Umatilla Street and offers a quieter residential feel, while the detached garage/shop fronts Tejon Street and provides visibility and positioning that may support a more valuable future use. This dual orientation is part of what makes the property so unique in LoHi and especially attractive for owner-occupants, entrepreneurs, investors, and buyers exploring a live/work-style concept, subject to City of Denver zoning, permitting, and approvals.
The existing garage is 550 square feet, cinderblock constructions with attic/storage space above. It has its own separate electrical service, making it well-positioned for a range of future configurations. It also includes a mini-split heating and cooling system serving the garage space. The current partition wall can be removed at the buyer’s option at no cost, allowing the space to be opened back up into a more traditional garage layout.
The Tejon side of the property is a major part of the value proposition. Buyers looking for a more valuable use than the current setup may see strong potential for a service-oriented concept, office/studio environment, owner-operator workspace, showroom, or future redevelopment approach. A second- or third-floor expansion may also offer exceptional downtown skyline views, subject to design, engineering, zoning, and City approvals.
The garage is currently configured for the current owner’s vending operation. For buyers with interest, the vending machines, vending business assets, and inventory are available separately, though the greater opportunity may be in adapting the space to a more customized end use.
An additional Tejon Street lot is also available separately and can fit two cars parked end-to-end, providing useful extra parking for you or your business. A narrow lot separates the garage from this optional parking lot.
Located in LoHi / Lower Highlands, this property sits in one of Denver’s most sought-after central neighborhoods near popular restaurants, retail, and pedestrian access to downtown. The area’s blend of residential appeal and commercial energy continues to support strong demand and creative repositioning opportunities.
