2448 Colorado Blvd
Retail | 6,000 SqFt
Marketing description
2448 Colorado Blvd is a 6,000 SF, two-tenant retail building on Colorado Avenue in Idaho Springs — one of I-70's highest-traffic mountain corridor stops. Sitting on a 19,602 SF lot with 22 surface parking spaces, prominent pylon signage, a metal roof, in-place grease trap, and individually metered units with per-unit restrooms, the building is operationally ready for a food and beverage operator from day one, with an unused mezzanine adding leasable square footage or event space without touching the footprint. One suite will be delivered vacant at closing while the restaurant tenant provides in-place income through April 2027, offering the rare combination of immediate cash flow and immediate optionality. The property sits in a federally designated Opportunity Zone and directly across the river from the newly opened Argos Gondola — a location poised to capture the next wave of foot traffic as Idaho Springs continues to emerge as a year-round mountain destination.
