The process of finding the perfect commercial office can be challenging. Once you’ve figured out a few spaces to look at, here are just a few questions you can ask yourself to help direct your final decision.
The ideal office space has regular amenities that are nearby that employees are able to use. This increases the attractiveness of your space if there are nearby restaurants, grocery stores, shopping centers, breweries and more. It makes it easier for employees to run errands and socialize when not on work time, which is always desirable for employees.
Sometimes, finding quality recruits depends on the ease of commute to your office space. The easier it is for employees to get to your office, the happier they will be. Ease of access to major Highways or I-25 is important, as well as having multiple ways for people to commute to work. Look for access to nearby bike paths, bus routes, and more.
Not only is this important for the image of the company, but it is also important because monthly costs are directly impacted by how environmentally friendly and efficient the building operates. Business owners and employees tend to be much happier when they work in a space that is well-designed and energy-efficient.
One of the absolute necessities for any business these days is internet speeds. Depending on your type of business, you might need lots of bandwidth for running your own servers, video conferencing, and other needs. These days, there’s really no excuse for any office space not to have adequate fiber connections for the entire building.
When you move into a new office you want to make sure that the area will be commercially successful – especially if your business relies upon foot traffic or visibility for success. The more successful the adjacent businesses are, the greater chance your business will be successful too. In addition, more adjacent space means you have the opportunity to grow your business in the future without relocating.

At LC Real Estate Group, we specialize in working with you and your unique business idea to find the best commercial property to ensure your long-term success.
As you may or may not know, Northern Colorado is one of the more competitive and expensive regions in the United States for aspiring entrepreneurs wanting to start or expand their own commercial business. One of the specific Northern Colorado communities that LC Real Estate Group has intimate knowledge on is the town of Loveland. To find the best commercial property listings in Loveland, Colorado, the experts at LC Real Estate Group have put together some helpful advice and tips.
First, you should know that commercial property in Loveland, Colorado is valued differently than residential property. It is valued according to its usable square footage. Also, loans on commercial properties are also different from loans on residential properties as lenders usually want close to 30% down on commercial real estate.
Here are some tips from the experts at LC Real Estate Group when looking for the best commercial properties to invest in:
1.Get familiar with commercial property investment terminology. The following terms will be used a lot in the listings you look at:
2. Look for properties that have more than one tenant. This will diversify your risk to make sure you don’t lose money on your monthly mortgage payment.
3. Go evaluate the neighborhood that the commercial property is located in for yourself.
4. Go to the tax assessor’s office and view the tax assessor’s records for the past 5 years on a potential commercial property. Doing so can give you some invaluable information regarding the commercial property’s value over time.
5. Ask to see the property seller’s cash flow statements for the past 5 years. Doing this will definitely give you an idea of the commercial property’s value and potential profitability in the future.
6. Research the surrounding area. How are the other commercial properties around the one you are interested in performing over the past 5 years? This will also help you evaluate whether a potential commercial property is going to bring you profit or loss.
7. And above all else, if you find a property that you think is particularly appealing, get an expert involved. Of course, the people at LC Real Estate Group would be thrilled to assist you in your commercial property hunt, and in helping you find a perfect match for your business, but even if you don’t give us a call, it is definitely in your best interest to have a professional evaluate the commercial property you are thinking of investing in.
Fort Collins, Colorado is one of the more difficult places in the United States for a new business to find success due to its already dense commercial real estate landscape and vastly diverse business offerings. It is because of this that LC Real Estate Group is proud to announce the new 24 Hour Fitness location at 460 South College Avenue. Although 24 Hour Fitness is not a new brand to those who frequent their treadmills, lifting benches, and variety of exercise classes, it is for this very reason that the new chain opening in Fort Collins stands a chance to survive and even thrive.
24 Hour Fitness was originally founded in 1983 by Mark Mastrov after he bought out a local gym that he was rehabbing at. Since then, the business has exploded under the vision of creating an all-encompassing and welcoming gym experience for people of all ages and knowledge levels. It has been a wild success, to say the least, and the new location in Fort Collins is in a spot that sorely needed an exercise center.
At 460 South College, the latest 24 Hour Fitness center in Fort Collins is located at the south end of the city’s historic and charming Old Town district. Because of this excellent location, the new 24 Hour Fitness should benefit from an always busy and buzzing Old Town crowd and long-established resident base in the surrounding neighborhoods. The new 24 Hour Fitness is also located less than a mile north of the Colorado State University campus and should attract scores of young college students who are tired of using the outdated and smaller Colorado State Athletic Center on the west side of campus. The surrounding Old Town district business are always crowded and should provide plenty of business for the new 24 Hour Fitness.
While some may wonder why the 24 Hour Fitness chain of exercise centers has been immensely successful, it is pretty apparent to those who have ever used their facilities. At 24 Hour Fitness, they offer countless amenities to members. Aside from the variety of traditional cardio workout machines (eg. Treadmills, exercise bikes, ellipticals, and stair climbers) and weightlifting stations, 24 Hour Fitness offers members Cycle Classes, Personal Training, Small Group Training, Multi-Functional Olympic Training, TRX Suspension Training, a Turf Zone, Basketball Courts, a Lap Pool, a Sauna, and a Kids’ Club. All of these outstanding features will be included at the new Fort Collins 243 Hour Fitness location at 460 South College Avenue.
The other obvious feature that this 24 Hour Fitness at 460 South College Avenue in Fort Collins will bring is its newness. Built in an area of Fort Collins where not much is new, this 24 Hour Fitness exercise center will feature a never before used facility with brand new, state-of-the-art equipment in a sleek, modernly-designed building. This new 24 Hour Fitness location will also feature the best technology and technology access of any gym in Fort Collins.
Because of it’s perfect location and tremendous amenities, the new 24 Hour Fitness location on 460 South College Avenue in Fort Collins, Colorado should be able to keep its doors open for a long time amidst an otherwise difficult and heavily-populated business environment.

Northern Colorado is one of the fastest growing and fastest developing areas in the entire country. New housing developments are going up around Fort Collins, Loveland, and Windsor regularly, and new businesses are developing and calling Northern Colorado their home.
For these reasons, investing in Commercial Land and Commercial Real Estate in Northern Colorado can be an extremely smart decision for increasing income potential and wealth. Investing in a commercial property can mean either a plot of land that is zoned (or could be zoned) for development of commercial buildings, or purchasing existing commercial buildings. Commercial properties might include retail buildings, office buildings, industrial buildings, or multi-purpose warehouses. Each building type has different challenges.
LC Real Estate Group is the premiere expert when it comes to commercial land investments in Northern Colorado. We have managed the acquisition and development of nearly $1 billion worth of commercial properties in Northern Colorado, including more than 80 years of combined experience on our commercial investment principals.
Diversifying a commercial portfolio is valuable, as well as smart. LC Real Estate Group has helped with a number of different commercial properties including:
Commercial investments are a great way to build professional relationships with the business community in Northern Colorado.

At LC Real Estate Group, we take every opportunity we can to invest ourselves in the Northern Colorado community and make it a better place, and we encourage our business partners to do the same!
There are, of course, plenty of risks involved with investing in commercial land and investing in commercial properties in Fort Collins or Loveland – as with any investment. Having a professional at your side can make this process much easier to navigate, and ensure that you understand all of the risks involved in each particular property that you might invest in.
LC Real Estate Group specializes in exactly commercial investment land and commercial property sales. Contact us to learn more at (970) 667-7000 or visit our website at lcrealestategroup.com.
At LC Real Estate Group, one of our specialties is commercial land development for the prospective entrepreneur or larger corporate representative. Our vision at LC Real Estate Group has always been to improve the quality of the built environment across the Front Range, and although we are primarily established in Loveland, LC Real Estate Group also develops and maintains properties in Fort Collins, Greeley, Windsor, Laporte, and Berthoud. Some of the different real estate options that LC Real Estate Group has available for commercial land development include: industrial, land, land for lease, multi-family, office, residential, residential land, retail, self-storage, and subdivisions.
But regardless of what type of real estate opportunity you are looking to invest in, the people at LC Real Estate Group realize that commercial real estate development is all about taking ideas on paper and turning them into actual properties that generate income. Such commercial real estate development is an intricate process that involves many different professionals, including architects, landscape architects, civil engineers, site planners, attorneys, environmental consultants, surveyors, title companies, lenders, general contractors, and subcontractors (amongst others), and LC Real Estate Group is here to assist you during every phase of this time-consuming commercial land development process.
In general, the commercial real estate development process can broadly be broken down into three stages, all of which LC Real Estate Group is here to assist you with:
Site Selection and Deal Making
The initial phase of commercial real estate development involves a great amount of research and analysis to determine is a proposed development is truly viable. A successful retail site must meet market demand, satisfy tenant requirements, satisfy lending conditions and regulatory requirements, and must accommodate the consumer.
At LC Real Estate Group, we use multiple sources of information and consult with commercial real estate developers to examine all available properties within a designated trade area that meet basic site requirements. Some of the most important factors that LC Real Estate Group looks at when determining the right commercial site for your needs include property size, visibility, traffic flow, demographics, zoning restrictions, surrounding infrastructure, potential access points, competitors (and their performance), and nearby tenants (along with their sales data).
Development and Entitlement
Once your site has been selected and your site plans have been created, it’s time to get down to the development details. This next phase focuses on critical sign-offs and approvals required for the newly proposed commercial real estate development(s) to come to life through municipality approval.
Getting a commercial development started often begins with bringing in a wide variety of consultants (e.g. architects, civil engineers, etc.) to make sure the best development plans and processes are being put into place to meet budgetary needs. The professionals at LC Real Estate Group can handle all of these conversations and commercial development needs.
In addition to the development side of the commercial development process, the appropriate municipal and government entities need to sign off on important review documents (e.g. zoning reviews, site plan reviews, design reviews, etc.) before a project can commence. Again, the professionals at LC Real Estate Group can assist you with all of the legal documentation that you will need to attain for your commercial land development project.
Construction and Tenant Turnover
Now that your development plans have been submitted and approved, your permits issued, and you’ve closed on the property, it’s time to start building and bringing your commercial development project to life. LC Real Estate Group can assist you by working with general contractors and subcontractors to make sure your commercial development project is completed in an agreed upon timeframe. The contractors and subcontractors will handle the construction jobs of soil movement, foundation laying, and finally building your finished structure (which includes landscaping, electrical, roofing, and plumbing).
Once the project meets all of the final inspections, codes, and ordinances, the appropriate municipal agency will issue a Certificate of Occupancy for the property, and then tenant move-in can occur. During tenant move-in, you are able to access your completed commercial development infrastructure and can begin on the business side of your new building.
