Colorado manufacturing facility trades for $13.16M
JLL Capital Markets arranged the sale and acquisition loan for the net-leased Longmont asset
DENVER, Feb. 10, 2021 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has closed the $13.16 million sale of and secured $7.9 million in acquisition financing for Longmont Business Park, a 195,086-square-foot, single-tenant, infill manufacturing facility triple net leased to Circle Graphics in the Boulder County community of Longmont, Colorado.
JLL marketed the property on behalf of the seller, Real Capital Solutions. Ivy Realty purchased the asset. Additionally, working on behalf of the new owner, JLL placed the nine-year, fixed-rate, non-recourse acquisition loan with a national balance sheet lender.
Built in phases from 1947 to 1965, the one-building facility features heavy power and ceiling heights ranging from 16 to 22 feet, 10 dock-high doors and trailer parking for more than 40 trailers. The tenant, world’s foremost producer of grand- and large-format digital graphics, operates large-scale printers in the facility and recently extended its long-term lease.
Longmont Business Park is at 120 9th Ave. in Longmont, a Boulder County community on the northern edge of metro Denver with access to a deep talent pool of highly educated and skilled workers. This infill location is proximate to Interstate 25 and Highways 119 and 287, which provide exceptional regional access to both Boulder, which is 25 minutes away, and Denver, which is 45 minutes from the property. Additionally, Longmont Business Park is approximately 47 minutes from Denver International Airport.
The team representing the seller included Managing Director Larry Thiel with JLL Capital Markets and Executive Vice President Carmon Hicks with JLL’s Logistics & Industrial Services team, along with Vice President Patrick McGettigan and Senior Vice President Joe Heath with JLL’s Agency Leasing team.
“The Longmont Business Park offering attracted a diverse buyer pool looking to invest in Boulder County, the industrial sector and long-term leased assets,” Thiel said. “There aren’t enough quality assets currently available for sale to quench the investor appetite for assets with similar attributes.”
The JLL Capital Markets Debt Placement team representing the borrower included Managing Director Leon McBroom and Director Rob Bova.
