EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This unique investment offers a mix of retail and flex/industrial units with stable near-term income and upcoming lease expirations, providing a rare opportunity to reposition the property or re-lease at market rates.
776-812 W Baseline Road is an exceptional four-building retail/ flex assemblage in Lafayette, Colorado. Each building is single-story constructed between 1977 and 2002 to create a small plaza with a diverse mix of spaces. 776 W Baseline Road is a 4,860-square-foot brick building with four flex/retail units each featuring a glass entry and overhead door. 778 W Baseline consists of 7,403 square feet of retail/flex space, which is home to Cellar West Brewery and its tap room, along the retail frontage, as well as an artist studio, a music studio, and a food distribution company in the back unit with a loading dock. 780 W Baseline is another retail/ flex building consisting of 5,408 square feet with a mix of tenants, including an acupuncturist, tattoo artist, property management company, and a machine shop. The final building on the property is 812 W Baseline Road, a 1,500-square-foot four-unit storage facility with gross leases. All of the other spaces are NNN leases with a strong track record of occupancy and only one vacancy of 1,255 square feet. Near-term lease rollovers create a unique opportunity for investors to unlock added value. Buyers can either re-lease at current market rates, reposition the plaza as fully retail to achieve higher rents, or occupy select spaces for their own use while generating passive income from the remaining tenants.
This strategic assemblage is ideally situated in the heart of Lafayette, offering a prime location with strong growth potential and connectivity. Perched near the major intersection of W Baseline Road and Highway 287, the asset benefits from high visibility and traffic counts. Lafayette offers a blend of suburban charm and urban convenience with easy access to Denver or Boulder and a plethora of outdoor activities. There are many retailers and restaurants within a quick drive, including national chains such as Walmart Supercenter, Walgreens, Chili’s Grill & Bar, Lowe’s, and Safeway, as well as many local restaurants and shops populating the historic downtown.
This asset is within the thriving Greater Boulder market, one of Colorado’s strongest economic regions. Boulder has seen many companies flourish in the past decade thanks to a well-developed infrastructure resulting from a synergistic relationship with the University of Colorado. The local economy is further strengthened by the presence of several Fortune 500 companies, including GE, IBM, Lockheed Martin, and Qualcomm. Google has also made a significant investment in the area, employing over 1,000 people and recently completing a 200,000-square-foot campus.
Property tours will be held on May 21st, June 6th, and June 19th by appointment only. Please contact the listing broker to schedule.
