Xcel Energy will be the latest company to build at HighPoint Elevated, a 125-acre, 5.5M SF industrial business park in development directly south of Denver International Airport.
Xcel spent $2.5M to purchase 10 acres from Hyde Development and Mortensen, the project’s developers, who will also oversee the construction of a planned 40K SF facility.
CBRE represented the sellers in the deal. Xcel will join two other companies that have announced plans to operate at HighPoint since the project broke ground in 2021: Hawthorne Hydroponics, which will occupy 37% of a 540K SF building available for lease, and Dollar General, which will open a 919K SF, custom-built facility at the site.
