Page 14 - June 17-30, 2026 www.crej.com In Colorado’s increasingly competitive industrial and commercial real estate market, well-connected locations, infra- structure capacity, and a clear and predictable regulatory envi- ronment matter more than ever. Businesses looking to invest in expansion, relocation, or diver- sification want access to strategic transportation corridors, a quali- fied workforce, developable land with room to grow, and local governments that under- stand how to facilitate respon- sible growth. Adams County is delivering on all of those fronts. Located at the central hub of the Front Range economy, Adams County has emerged as one of Colorado’s most strategic destinations for wholesale trade and logistics, advanced manu- facturing, aviation and aero- space, construction, and energy and green technologies. Also home to the University of Colo- rado Anschutz Medical Cam- pus and Fitzsimons Innovation Community, Adams County is a leader in the healthcare and life sciences sectors. Offering direct access to all of Colorado’s interstate highways, Class I and short-line rail service, Denver International Airport, and the Colorado Air and Space Port, Adams County offers businesses exceptional regional, national, and international connectivity. As industrial land becomes increasingly constrained across the Denver metropolitan area, Adams County continues to offer a compelling value propo- sition: strategic locations, rede- velopment opportunities, trans- portation access, available work- force, and a proactive approach to economic development. Quantum 56: Award-Winning Industrial Development Quantum 56 has quickly become one of the premier examples of modern industri- al development in the Denver metropolitan region. Located along the 56th Avenue corridor in southwest Adams County, the project encompasses approxi- mately 60 acres and will deliver roughly 875,000 square feet of Class A industrial space across six buildings upon full buildout. Designed to meet the needs of today’s industrial users, Quan- tum 56 offers modern building specifications including 32- to 36-foot clear heights, ESFR fire protection systems, extensive trailer storage, abundant park- ing, and flexible tenant configu- rations suitable for manufactur- ing, logistics, warehousing, and distribution operations. The project’s location provides exceptional connectivity to I-25, I-70, and I-76, downtown Den- ver, and Denver International Airport, placing businesses within easy reach of customers, suppliers, workforce, and trans- portation infrastructure. Quantum 56 has already earned regional recognition, receiving NAIOP Colorado’s Industrial Development of the Year award and helping estab- lish southwest Adams County as one of the region’s emerg- ing industrial submarkets. The success of Quantum 56 dem- onstrates both the strength of market demand and the oppor- tunities that continue to exist throughout the surrounding cor- ridor. Pecos Logistics Park: Strategic Infill Logistics Opportunity Pecos Logistics Park fur- ther illustrates the growing demand for modern industri- al space in southwest Adams County. Located just west of Quantum 56 on North Pecos Street, the Class A develop- ment offers the same excep- tional access to the region’s interstate network while pro- viding a rare infill opportu- nity in one of metro Denver’s most strategically positioned industrial corridors. The prop- erty’s proximity to the Pecos Junction light-rail station fur- ther enhances its appeal by expanding access to a growing regional workforce. These advantages have attracted a roster of nation- ally recognized tenants including PepsiCo Bever- ages North America, Lennox International, Alliant Power, and Vartega. Their presence underscores a fundamental reality of today’s industrial market: location remains one of the most important driv- ers of operational efficiency and long-term value. Access to labor, customers, suppliers, and transportation infrastruc- ture directly impacts distribu- tion costs, delivery times, and business performance. Pecos Logistics Park excels in each of these areas. The project’s advantageous location allows businesses to efficiently serve the Den- ver market while maintain- ing strong connections to regional freight networks and interstate transportation corri- dors. As e-commerce, regional distribution, and last-mile delivery operations continue to grow, well-located indus- trial projects such as Pecos Logistics Park are becoming increasingly scarce and dif- ficult to replicate. Together, Quantum 56 and Pecos Logistics Park highlight the continued transformation of southwest Adams County into one of the most active industrial redevelopment markets in the region. Rocky Mountain Rail Park: Colorado’s Next Major Rail- Served Industrial Hub While southwest Adams County is driving significant redevelopment activity, another transformational opportunity is emerging in central Adams County. Located immediately north of I-70 near Bennett and adjacent to the Colorado Air and Space Port, Rocky Moun- tain Rail Park represents one of the most significant large-scale, rail-served industrial develop- ment opportunities currently available in Colorado. The approximately 620-acre master-planned industrial park is designed to accommodate manufacturing, logistics and distribution, aviation and aero- space, and energy sectors with one of the largest private com- mercial rail facilities (Patriot Rail) in the region. At full build- out, the project will feature more than 15 miles of private rail infrastructure connected direct- ly to the Union Pacific mainline, creating one of the most robust rail-served industrial environ- ments in the region. In an era where supply chain resiliency and transportation diversification are increasingly important, rail-served indus- trial sites have become highly sought after.
