Description
Recently reduced from $4,650,000 to $3,985,000 (just $68.74/SF), this 57,967 SF development site presents a compelling owner-user or redevelopment opportunity in Denver. Strategically located between S. Santa Fe Drive and E. South Platte River Drive, the property sits on the east side of the Platte River along northbound South Santa Fe Drive with unobstructed mountain views and exceptional visibility. Zoned E-CC-3 within Denver County (allowing up to three stories), the site offers flexibility for a variety of commercial or mixed-use concepts. The property benefits from short-term income in place, making it suitable as a covered land play or for an owner-user seeking future redevelopment upside. Traffic counts reach approximately 97,724 vehicles per day (2023) near S. Santa Fe Drive & W. Louisiana Ave, and the site is positioned on the “going to work” side of Santa Fe Drive—just three blocks south of I-25 and two blocks from the new National Women’s Soccer League stadium development at the former Gates Rubber Factory site. Two structures currently occupy the site: a 692 SF drive-thru coffee/food service building (formerly Starbucks, now vacant after 22 years) and a 6,894 SF retail/office/showroom building leased to “Smart Spaces” (Murphy bed and wall bed showroom). Please do not disturb the tenant. The property is also directly west of the Warehouse Lofts development, a new 75-unit multifamily project at 1290 S. Santa Fe Drive, further enhancing the long-term growth potential of this prime infill location.
