A client who needs “a bigger space” may be raising a commercial real estate question.

Residential agents can spot referral opportunities without underwriting the deal:

→ Business expansion: A growing company needs a storefront, office, warehouse, or second location.
→ Investor acquisition: A client is considering a retail, office, industrial, or multifamily investment.
→ Mixed-use property: Someone wants a home, business, or income-producing component in one asset.
→ Land: A buyer is exploring development, agricultural, storage, or other future uses.
→ Owner-user needs: A business owner may benefit from purchasing rather than continuing to lease.

The signal is usually a change in the client’s business, investment goals, or space requirements: not a polished deal package.

Ask one more question: “What are you hoping the property helps you accomplish?”

Then make a warm introduction to a commercial advisor who can help evaluate property type, location, financing considerations, and next steps. You do not need to underwrite the transaction yourself.

Have a client with a commercial question? Connect for a low-pressure commercial second opinion. Clients should consult qualified lenders, CPAs, attorneys, and other professionals for financing, tax, legal, and investment advice.

Colorado Springs retail is showing resilience: and location remains one of the biggest variables in business performance.

Retail and medical office continue to benefit from population growth and local business activity. All-sales-tax collections across Colorado Springs–El Paso County increased approximately 4.14% year to date compared with the same period in 2025.

Growth corridors to watch:
→ Marksheffel + Powers
→ North + east Colorado Springs
→ InterQuest + Northgate
→ Monument + surrounding communities

For business owners, evaluate more than the asking rent:
→ Customer access, visibility + traffic patterns
→ Nearby housing + employment growth
→ Competition + complementary businesses
→ Lease terms + occupancy costs

That location strategy is especially relevant at Chelton Crossing Hub in southeast Colorado Springs, where approximately 3,210 SF: divisible into two units: and 5,885 SF are available. A new 70-unit residential project within walking distance is expected to be completed in early 2027, potentially adding nearby activity. A generous tenant-improvement package may be available for the right tenant, subject to final terms and qualification.

Not every location performs the same way. A distinctive space in the right trade area can outperform a generic space in the wrong one.

Save and share this snapshot. Which Colorado Springs corridor has the greatest potential for small-business growth?

Before you tour a commercial property, start with three numbers: not just the coffee. ☕

1️⃣ NOI : Net Operating Income: the income remaining after operating expenses, before debt service and taxes.

2️⃣ Cap rate : A quick valuation lens: NOI ÷ purchase price. It helps compare opportunities, but it is not the whole underwriting story.

3️⃣ DSCR : Debt Service Coverage Ratio: a measure of how comfortably property income supports annual loan payments.

The takeaway: numbers first → tour second. Review rent assumptions, expenses, financing terms, tenant quality, and future capital needs before making a decision. Good analysis protects equity and helps identify properties with real potential: not just attractive façades.

Looking for a distinctive commercial property in Colorado, or evaluating a potential acquisition? Send a message with the property type, location, and strategy you have in mind. Let’s start with the fundamentals.

Colorado’s commercial property tax reset is more than a headline: it is a cash-flow variable.

HB 24B-1001 and SB 24-233 phase down the nonresidential assessment rate:

• Historically: 29%
• 2023–2024: 27.9%
• 2026: 26%
• By 2027: 25% for eligible improved commercial subclass codes

At a 25% assessment rate, assessed value: and the related property tax burden before mill levies: would be roughly 13.8% below the historic 29% rate, assuming the same actual value and applicable classification.

For Colorado Springs investors and business owners, that creates a defensive yield and cash-flow tailwind:

→ Lower property tax drag can strengthen NOI
→ Stronger NOI can improve after-tax cash flow
→ Improved cash flow can support more resilient acquisition and refinancing underwriting
→ Statewide rate relief adds predictability through the reassessment cycle

The relief applies across Colorado taxing jurisdictions, although final tax bills still depend on local mill levies, classification, valuation and eligibility. In other words: the expense does not disappear, but it becomes structurally lighter; an unusually helpful development in a pro forma.

Owners and investors should incorporate the updated rates into sensitivity tables, valuation reviews and refinancing conversations. For specific tax treatment, consult your CPA or attorney.

Is your SBA-financed transaction scheduled for after October 1? Plan ahead.

Effective October 1, 2026, SBA SOP 50 10 8.1 will govern loan origination policies and procedures for both SBA 7(a) and 504 loans.

The important distinction: one SOP does not mean one universal checklist.

Some requirements apply across both programs, while underwriting, eligibility, change-of-ownership, refinancing, documentation, maturity, collateral, interest-rate, and transaction-structure considerations may be program-specific.

For buyers and sellers, the practical takeaway is simple:

→ Speak with an SBA lender early
→ Confirm whether 7(a) or 504 applies
→ Review structure, underwriting, documentation, and timing
→ Verify current requirements and transition rules

Do not assume that a specific standard: such as a 1.25x DSCR or Quality of Earnings requirement: automatically applies to every 7(a) and 504 transaction. Program, transaction, and lender analysis matter.

Have a commercial lead: but aren’t sure what the next step should be?

You don’t have to navigate it alone.

A commercial collaboration or referral can help you:
→ Protect the client relationship
→ Connect the opportunity with the right expertise
→ Give your client a clear path forward
→ Stay focused on the residential business you do best

Commercial real estate involves different considerations, including property use, leases, operating expenses, valuation, financing, and investment strategy. The right collaboration can help ensure the lead receives informed guidance without losing the trust you’ve built.

For context, RE/MAX Commercial Alliance figures as of July 1, 2026:
• $608,193.26 paid commission
• $27,576,740.57 in volume
• 39 transactions
• $137,139.50 paid referrals

These figures are historical results, not guarantees of future income or performance.

What does it take to turn an ambitious civic idea into a lasting Colorado Springs asset?

A recent panel with Bob, Dan, and Jariah, part of an Urban Land Institute (ULI) Southern Colorado event, offered a candid look at the multi-year effort behind the U.S. Air Force Academy Visitor Center: its 2012 Regional Tourism Act origins, its role in the broader City for Champions vision, and the political and community challenges along the way.

The panel described a complex public-private financing structure: $120.5 million in state sales-tax increment over 30 years, bonding for construction, an Enhanced Use Lease pairing the visitor center and infrastructure with a federal ground lease, and an Urban Renewal Authority framework involving deferred property-tax revenue.

The architecture carries the story forward. As shared during the discussion, four roofs represent the four cadet classes, while wing-inspired forms reflect Air Force aircraft. The details connect place, purpose, and identity.

The central lesson: transformational projects require a community rolling together with a vision. For commercial real estate, civic investment, and tourism, that alignment can help create the conditions for long-term growth: even when inflation and higher interest rates make future phases more difficult.
