CBRE Arranges $3.2 Million Sale of Fort Collins Office Building

CBRE announced the sale of the office building located at 2024 E. Harmony Rd. in Fort Collins, Colorado. A Colorado-based limited liability company acquired the 6,832-sq.-ft. property for $3.2 million in an off-market transaction.

CBRE’s Jason Ortiz and Tyler Swenson represented the buyer. Jon Rue, also with CBRE, represented the seller, a private investor.

“Harmony Road is among the most-sought-after corridors in Northern Colorado by retailers, tenants and investors alike, and this building is arguably the best-located office building in Fort Collins,” said Mr. Ortiz, vice president with CBRE Capital Markets in Fort Collins. “While the office sector is making headlines for its challenges, Class A buildings with irreplaceable locations command interest in any market cycle.”

Built in 2015, 2024 E. Harmony Road is a multi-tenant office building at the intersection of Harmony Road and South Timberline Road, a stoplight that sees more than 80,000 vehicles per day.

“The buyer was attracted to this property because of its potential for retail and office use. It’s ideal for office tenants but also appealing to retailers because of its high-visibility location at an important intersection,” added Mr. Swenson, vice president with CBRE Capital Markets in Fort Collins.

Fundamentals improved in Northern Colorado’s office market in the first half of 2023, according to CBRE research.
