Dalfen Industrial bought 77,222 square feet of centrally located industrial space in its first Denver acquisition. The acquisition included two small-bay buildings on 4.32 acres at 700 and 702 W. 48th Ave., immediately northwest of the interchange of Interstates 25 and 70. Dalfen paid $9.67 million, or $125.16 per sf, for the property. Mark Bowen “It’s perfect for the central market,” said Mark Bowen, Dalfen Industrial senior vice president and head of investments. The product appeals to smaller tenants that are the bread and butter of the Denver market and is a true last mile location in a submarket with consistently low vacancy, he said. “The location was key. It’s always stayed well-occupied because of where it is and its last-mile characteristics,” said Bowen. Built in 1984, the property has 11 units in each building and offers both dock-high and drive-in loading. It was 100% occupied at the time the sale. BR Printers, which occupies several units, is the largest tenant.
