The Lovett 76 Logistics Center is a 613,758 square foot class A industrial building located in Brighton, Colorado, within the Bromley Business Park off Interstate 76. Since it broke ground in 2022, developer Lovett Industrial has sold the completed facility to Trader Joe’s for $69.35 million, a deal reported in September 2025 that positions the building as the grocer’s likely new Colorado distribution hub.
Lovett 76 Logistics Center changes hands at $113 a square foot
Lee & Associates Denver brokers Kirk Vanino, Ron Webert and Matt Nora represented seller Lovett Industrial in the sale, Mile High CRE reported, with the 41.8 acre site and its additional 9.5 acres of trailer parking going for $69,354,654. As of January 2026, Trader Joe’s had not yet activated the site: 9News reported the chain’s closest working distribution center to Colorado was still in Texas, with a Brighton facility planned to open “soon,” even as the company kept adding stores across the Denver metro. The $113 per square foot sale price is well above the roughly $114 per square foot Amazon reported for building its own 3.5 million square foot Loveland fulfillment center from the ground up, underscoring how tight North Front Range industrial supply has pushed acquisition costs for existing Class A space close to new construction pricing.

The Bromley Business Park, an industrial business park, is where the Lovett 76 Logistics Center is located. Furthermore, this park is home to local, regional, and national distribution, logistics, and service businesses.
Lovett 76 Logistics Center to serve Denver MSA and beyond
Direct access to Interstate 76 from the business park offers local and regional connections to the Denver MSA and beyond. Excellent closeness to a large labor pool and Denver, Colorado’s fast-expanding national population center are two other highlights.
Ted Hart, Senior Managing Director at Lovett Industrial, stated that “National retailers and suppliers are following suit by strengthening their existing logistics real estate positions and expanding into new ones. The Denver MSA’s population growth shows no indications of slowing down.
Additionally, Northeast Submarket’s Lovett Logistics Center is ideally situated to meet this need, and with how close it is to the I-80 corridor and direct access to I-76, users have access to a large labor pool. We feel fortunate to partner with the City of Brighton on this exciting project.”
