Boulder-based manufacturing company Nite Ize has purchased a 160K SF property at 6303 West Dry Creek Parkway in Longmont to serve as its new global distribution headquarters for its growing consumer products brand.

The larger facility will enable the company to increase its investment in high-volume order-processing equipment, as well as provide additional storage space for its increasing inventory needs. Nite Ize, which makes products like LED-lit bracelets, pet collars and flying discs, purchased the property from STAG Industrial of Boston.

“This building is one of the last remaining 100K SF-plus warehouses still standing within Boulder County limits,” said CBRE Vice President Brian McClenahan, who, with Chris Ball of Cushman & Wakefield, represented Nite Ize. “Most companies are forced to leave Boulder County when they need to expand, so this was a rare opportunity for Nite Ize to stay local yet still grow and modernize their operations.”

Nite Ize previously was operating out of three locations in Boulder: a global office headquarters on Central Avenue in East Boulder, which it will maintain, as well as a manufacturing facility on Longbow Drive and a distribution center on Spine Road, both in North Boulder.

The new facility in the Boulder Tech Center will replace the company’s Longbow and Spine locations, allowing Nite Ize to consolidate and improve the efficiency of its operations.

“We have lofty goals for growth, and this investment in our future is a necessary step to help us get there,” Nite Ize President Michael Boyd said.
