Newmark announces the $82.75 million sale of 119,977-square-feet of office and retail space at 200 | 250 Columbine in the heart of Denver’s Cherry Creek North neighborhood. The purchase included 89,069 square feet of boutique office space across eight stories at 200 Columbine and 30,782 square feet of street-level retail at 250 Columbine. Newmark Vice Chairman John Jugl and his team represented developer and seller, Western Development Group, in the sale to the buyer, Crescent Real Estate LLC (Crescent). Crescent is purchasing the property through its GP Invitation Fund II, a Crescent-managed investment vehicle used to acquire, develop, and operate all real estate classes alongside institutional investors and high-net-worth clients.
“200 | 250 Columbine is a landmark Cherry Creek North property that has proven its resilience over the past 18 months through the signing of new office leases and strong recovery in retail, restaurant and parking to pre-COVID-19 revenues,” said Jugl. “The property’s design is a testament to Western Development’s vision of a mixed-use project that contributes to Cherry Creek North’s vitality. We’d like to thank Crescent Real Estate for their professionalism throughout the process as they displayed great perseverance on a complicated project during a period of uncertainty.”
The opportunity to acquire assets of scale is rare in a market as densely populated and built-out as Cherry Creek North, as almost all parcels of land in the Cherry Creek submarket have been developed or are already spoken for. Located at Columbine and 2nd Avenue, 200 | 250 Columbine offers scale in the urban node, as well as a prominent location within its built-out surroundings. The asset – situated among Cherry Creek North’s more than 50 restaurants and food establishments – is walkable to retailers, restaurants and coffee shops.
