News Release: Opus Brings Class A Shallow-Bay Development and Public Improvements to Centennial, Colo., with Catalyst Industrial Completion

CENTENNIAL, Colo. – April 28, 2025 – Opus has completed construction of Catalyst Industrial, a new 188,054-square-foot Class A shallow-bay speculative industrial development situated on 14.26 acres at 15030 E. Fremont Drive in Centennial, Colorado. The project has already attracted strong tenant interest, with a 42,000-square-foot lease signed prior to completion.

“The Southeast submarket has strong labor demographics and has seen steady demand for new smaller-bay product, a fact underscored by the interest we saw from prospective tenants throughout construction and the pre-lease of nearly one-quarter of the building,” said Joe Swensson, senior director of real estate development with Opus, continuing, “That demand, paired with our commitment to community investment, drove the vision for Catalyst – from job creation to extending the Fremont Pass Recreational Pathway.”

Centennial Mayor Christine Sweetland said, “Projects like this reflect the kind of thoughtful growth Centennial strives for. This development brings new opportunity, investment and long-term value to our community. We appreciate Opus’ collaboration and commitment to delivering a project that aligns with Centennial’s vision for smart, sustainable development.”

Designed to accommodate multiple tenants, the 32-foot clear height building includes 21 dock doors with knockouts for an additional 17 doors and six drive-in dock doors; 268 vehicle parking stalls; and a 2,800-square-foot speculative office suite. The building also includes aesthetic features such as extensive front-facing glass, architectural design elements and multiple ingress and egress points.

The project is optimally located 30 minutes from downtown Denver and benefits from Centennial’s well-developed multimodal transportation network with quick access to Arapahoe Rd., Interstate 25, Interstate 225, E-470 and Centennial Airport.

Opus was the developer, design-builder and architect and structural engineer of record on the project, which is their third in Denver’s Southeast submarket over the last five years. Todd Witty, SIOR and Daniel Close, SIOR with CBRE are marketing the space for lease.
