Denver-based Black Creek Group has acquired 165 acres to develop the firm’s largest project to date. Upon completion, the two-building Class A industrial park will total two million square feet. The development will be completed in two phases. Eric Hawk, partner of Archway Properties, the co-developer in this transaction, spent two years assembling 42 individual parcels with 18 different property owners.
Construction on Phase I, a one-million-square-foot facility, is scheduled to commence in Q3 2021, with completion anticipated in Q3 2022. Construction on Phase II, a one-million-square-foot facility with an adjacent excess trailer lot, will be reserved for build-to-suits or a future speculative project. The site offers flexibility as the buildings can accommodate multiple tenants.
Black Creek Group and Archway Properties were represented by Ryan Thornton and Nathan Lawrence of CBRE in the co-development agreement.
