Marcus & Millichap is pleased to present the fee simple interest in ±2.99 acres of commercial land located at 5400 E 128th Avenue in Thornton, Colorado (the “Property”).  The Property already has site plan approval for a 12,000 square foot daycare and an 8,989 square foot retail strip center. The Property is platted into two parcels and has two existing curb cuts, one of which is split on E 128th Ave.  The elevations for both proposed buildings have already been approved by the association and utilities are already stubbed/available.  Offered at an attractive basis, the Property presents a compelling opportunity for investors, developers, or owner-users to unlock tremendous value through development in one of Denver’s fastest-growing suburban markets.

The Property has ±530 feet of frontage along E 128th Ave (18,062 vehicle traffic count) and additional frontage on Fairfax Street and Hudson Street. Neighbors include HCA HealthONE Northeast ER (a Mountain Ridge Hospital facility) as well as established residential communities, creating strong demand for retail and service-oriented development.

Thornton, located just 10 miles north of Downtown Denver, has become a dynamic growth hub within the metro area, supported by proactive economic development initiatives, direct connectivity to I-25, and proximity to Denver International Airport. With ±190,000 residents within a 5-mile radius, strong household incomes exceeding $111,000, and projected population growth of 3% over the next five years, the Property offers developers a rare opportunity to capture demand in a thriving suburban corridor.
