Lokal Homes Closes on 19-Acre Acquisition in Lone Tree for 274-Home Development

Lone Tree, CO – Lokal Homes has closed on the acquisition of approximately 19 acres of vacant land in Lone Tree, Colorado. The property, to be known as Willow Creek, is located on the south side of C-470 between Acres Green Drive and S. Yosemite Street and is scheduled for phased development of 274 townhomes and paired homes to be developed around various open spaces and the Willow Creek Trail. The property will feature a variety of amenities, a large park and open space, but most importantly will provide a significant number of affordable homes to the very high-end Lone Tree market.

As Colorado’s award-winning Hometown Builder, Lokal is proudly focused on creating homes exclusively in Colorado—building communities that reflect the spirit, lifestyle, and beauty of our state. This will be Lokal’s second development in Lone Tree, currently selling townhomes in the Lyric neighborhood of RidgeGate.

The property, adjacent to the Furniture Row stores just west, is centrally located and provides easy access to all parts of the greater Denver metro area to the north and Colorado Springs to the south due to very close proximity the Interstate 25. Lokal Homes expects to sell many of these units to parents looking to offer their children affordable housing options nearby, seniors looking to downsize from much larger homes throughout the region, as well as first time homebuyers interested in living in Lone Tree.

“We’re excited to welcome Lokal Homes to Lone Tree and to see the Willow Creek neighborhood take shape,” said Mayor Marissa Harmon, City of Lone Tree. “This project reflects the kind of thoughtful growth we value in creating new housing options while connecting residents to parks, trails, and the surrounding community. Willow Creek will be a beautiful addition to Lone Tree and a great place for future families to call home.”

“Lokal homes will be presenting three collections of homes, in three phases starting on the easternmost side and gradually moving westward, with each phase providing different amenities. To the north lies the Willow Creek Greenbelt, a natural asset that offers pedestrian connectivity through a multi-modal trail. This trail effectively links Willow Creek Park and Sweetwater Park, creating a continuous green corridor that promotes outdoor activities and enhances the quality of life for residents. We expect to break ground Summer 2026 with overall construction taking 4 years” says Nate Levy, Vice President of Sales.

Lokal Homes was represented by Rick Egitto of CRE Solutions. Rick become familiar with the need for well-priced housing in Lone Tree through former mayor Jackie Millet making a comment of the need at a meeting in Q1, 2022. Rick also knew that Lokal Homes was looking to expand on the south side of Denver, and already had a presence developing townhomes at Lyric, within the Ridgegate community to the east of I-25 at Lincoln Avenue. The development team, the City of Lone Tree and the property seller all worked hard for several years to modify the zoning, install a metro district to develop much of the infrastructure, and to finally attain city council approval in July of this year.

Hotel Land Acquisition

For Immediate Release

Tuesday, January 9, 2024

Avison Young completes land parcel acquisition for development of 122-room hotel

in Centennial, CO

Denver, CO – Avison Young is pleased to announce it has completed a 3-acre land acquisition for the development of a 122-room WoodSpring Suites Hotel in Centennial, CO (Arapahoe County). The land was purchased for $1.2 million and construction for the project is anticipated to complete in late 2024. Avison Young Principals Rick Egitto and Howard Schmidt represented the buyer, KT Development. The seller, Paragon Financial Partners, was represented by Bo Pitto, Chris Schultz and James McGill of JLL.

WoodSpring Suites Hotel is an extended stay brand from Choice Hotels International, Inc., one of the world’s largest hotel chains which owns 20-plus hotel brands ranging from upscale to economy. The site is within a larger development called Potomac Park & Industrial Complex, which is situated on just over 154 acres and is well-located a short drive from Centennial Airport, Denver Technology Center and Inverness Business Park. It is also proximate to Interstate 25, E-470, Arapahoe Road, and Parker Road (Highway 83). Over the past two years, Egitto has led the Avison Young land search team on behalf of KT Development. KT Development is currently seeking an additional 15 hotel sites throughout the state of Colorado. Luke Taylor, Managing Member with KT Development stated, “The Avison Young team is standing up to the task of identifying strategic locations for our Colorado hotel site selection requirements. They take the time to physically visit potential locations as opposed to just searching online. They are thorough and delve into examining traffic patterns, business drivers, and available economic incentives, and examine water costs, mill levies, and potential zoning issues, among other challenges. This takes real dedication to our mission to identify the significant number of sites we are seeking within a two-year timeframe.” Jeff Kochevar, Managing Member with KT Development added, “Our hotels, be they WoodSpring Suites or EverHome, also function well as Attainable Housing in mountain communities. With the right incentives, we can deliver a significant amount of rooms at a favorable price compared to home ownership, which is especially useful for a seasonal workforce or where affordable employee housing is a significant problem.” Previously, Egitto and Schmidt represented Genesis in its acquisition of a WoodSpring Suites Hotel site in Greeley, CO which should deliver in March of this year. Other new WoodSpring Suites hotels are located in Thornton, Broomfield, Colorado Springs and Ft. Collins.
