With Partner/Commercial Brokerage Manager, Nathan Klein, able to assist a long time client with this investment sale, our team at LC Real Estate Group is sure to keep tabs on the future of the 4th Street Block in Loveland.

As 2020 came to a close, Downtown Loveland City Block at W. 4th St., N. Garfield Ave., W. 3rd St., and Railroad Ave. traded hands. As described by Ken Amundson in the featured BizWest article above, the new ownership company was formed by local brewery and real estate stakeholders. Trading for $3 Million, this purchase transferred ownership to much of the property included in this downtown block (not including 323 N. Railroad Ave.). 

With no disruptions planned for the current businesses at the site, Loveland Aleworks, Bernhardt Vision, Rockywood Fabrics, KK9 Dog Training, Cosmic Dog, and Colorado Cardio Gym Equipment Outlet, and Vector Disease Control International, are all set to remain in place. With the new ownership company tied to Loveland Aleworks, there are plans to install extra bathrooms to support a beer garden concept behind the main brewhouse. With a "master plan" for the block in the works, Brewer Nick Callaway notes that the company, "wants to promote the festive nature of the downtown, and turn this block into a campus."

With the landscape of Downtown Loveland continuing to shift and grow, we are exctied to track the progress of this block as it grows with it.

LC Real Estate Group, LLC is excited to be involved in the Cleveland Station Redevelopment project set to "beautify" a corner of Downtown Loveland. Contact our team if are looking for info on office/retail space at this location.

After Loveland City Council's session on Thursday night, members voted unanimously to approve the redevelopment and tax increment financing plan for this historic property at Cleveland Ave. / Fifth Street in Downtown Loveland. With details on reimbursements up to $800,000 for widening sidewalks, facade improvements, and public art, the Cleveland Station project truly begins to come to life. For those involved in the redevelopment efforts of this site, this TIF financing and reimbursement should, "allow (the project) to be developed at a much higher level." 

With three confirmed tenants (Boutique by Sonja, Tom Davis Saloon, and Radial Development Group), the project is really picking up momentum as it moves into its next phases. Aided by plans of restored architectural elements, and public art incorporated into the building, this is one of the projects set to show how Loveland's downtown is dynamically shifting towards the downtown they aim to be. If you have questions on the redevelopment, or spaces available, please contact us at 970-667-7000.

With the news officially announced, Target is set to add its third store in Fort Collins with a focus to serve downtown / north Fort Collins consumers.

After 24 Hour Fitness closed its doors as a direct result of the COVID-19 Pandemic, a large portion of the commercial building at 460 South College Ave. sat vacant, causing a noticeable hole in the downtown market. As bulding owner and Senior Partner here at LC Real Estate Group, LLC. noted, "Target considered the site before 24 Hour Fitness leased the space, but decided against it at the time. They reconsidered when the building came up for lease again." 

With the building at 460 S. College playing a prominent role in the look and feel of Old Town Fort Collins, this news comes with many viewpoints. As Matt Robenalt pointed out, "Having Target located in the downtown and this geography of the city will provide a new element of convenience and a new walkable option for the many residents of Old Town who may have shopped at the South Target stores for decades."

While this news marks a significant milestone for the LC Real Estate Group Team, plenty of work is still to be done before the slated 2021 opening. Keep tuned for progress and future announcements!

LC Real Estate Group Foundation's Coats and Boots progam will once again be distributing free winter clothing to Loveland's Title 1 schools. Coats and Boots uses donated funds to obtain new winter wear at cost through a partnership with sporting goods retailer Scheels.

Rico Devlin, a partner at LC Real Estate Group and one of the program's organizers, said the program will look different this year in order to minimize in-person contact. Voluteers in past years helped the kids size their winter gear on the day the coats & boots were donated. While this year might look a little different, "The kids will still get the chance to pick them out, so it's more personal for them, and it's not just them being handed a jacket," Devlin said. 

With School officials handling the physical distribution of donated coats and boot this year, the program's recipients will include Edmondson, Lincoln, Monroe, Garfield, Sarah Milner, Truscott and Winona. The foundation hopes to grow to serve all Thompson elementary schools in the coming years.

The foundation has set a fund raising goal of $15,000 this year. With each $60 tax deductible donation going directly towards the cost of a set of winter clothing, these jackets and boots will provide a student with the gear they need to be successful and comfortable this winter. Nathan Klein, another program organizer and Senior Partner at LC Real Estate Group, said the schools are reporting a greater need this year due to the financial strain placed on the families by the pandemic. "Every school is asking us for more" he said. 

We encourage interested individuals and businesses to make a tax-deductable contribution, either by mailing a check to LC Real Estate Group Foundation c/o Coats & Boots, 1712 Topaz Drive, Loveland CO 80537, or visting the program's Gofundme page.

The former HP/Agilent campus in South-West Loveland has hit the market, listed for $22.8M. Made up of four buildings on 177 acres, now known as the Rocky Mountain Center for Innovation and Technology, the real estate is located on the North-East corner of Taft Avenue and 14th St. SW. 

Last being sold by the City of Loveland for $5 million in 2011, Cumberland & Western Resources invested in property finishes, and leased a good amount of space in the campus. LC Real Estate Group partner Nathan Klein is featured in the full article above, diving into some of the value the current owner has in this unique real estate holding. As a large campus in a unique and quickly changing part of Loveland, the listing and potential sale of this campus is certainly something the team at LC will continue to keep on our radar.
