Denver-based investor buys Boulder flex property for $8.8M
JLL Capital Markets led the sales efforts for 6707 Winchester in the Highway 119 Corridor
DENVER – October 11, 2022 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has closed the $8.8 million sale of 6707 Winchester, a single-story, flex office building totaling 32,926 square feet in Boulder, Colorado.
JLL represented the seller, Ivy Realty, in the sale of the property to Evermore Partners, LLC.
6707 Winchester sits on 3.61 acres within the Gunbarrel Tech Center, a 15-building park adjacent to Boulder County open space about 25 miles northwest of Denver. This location is equidistant from downtown Boulder and rapidly growing Longmont along the Highway 119 Corridor. Boulder has been ranked as one of the “Best Places to Live in the U.S.” by U.S. News and offers a highly skilled population base, a renowned university and amazing access to outdoor recreational activities. In addition, Boulder boasts the highest STEM degree completions per capital in the U.S and the highest density of start-ups per capital in the U.S.
Fully renovated in 2016, 6707 Winchester has 28,832 square feet of office and lab space and 4,000 square feet of warehouse and distribution space. The warehouse space offers three dock-high doors and one roll-up door. Amenities on site include: a fitness center with shower and locker rooms, an outdoor patio with BBQ and bike storage. The property is fully leased to four tenants with life sciences companies comprising 33% of the rent roll.
According to JLL’s 2022 Life Sciences Lab Real Estate Outlook, Denver/Boulder boasts strong momentum in core biotech talent and company formation in the last few years. Yet, development of new office and flex / R&D product is highly constrained putting upward pressure on rents and keeping demand for new developments or conversions at an all-time high.
The JLL Capital Markets team representing the seller was led by Managing Directors Larry Thiel and Jason Schmidt and Associate Rob Key.
