News Release: Opus Breaks Ground on Class A Speculative Industrial Project in Centennial, Colo.

CENTENNIAL, Colo. – May 5, 2025 – Opus today announced that it has broken ground on Catalyst Industrial, a new 188,054-square-foot Class A speculative industrial development on 14.26 acres located at 15030 E. Fremont Drive in Centennial, Colorado. The project marks Opus’ third development in Denver’s Southeast submarket over the last five years.

“The limited development pipeline and the consistently strong demand for industrial space in the Southeast submarket created a market opportunity that Opus believes will lead to a successful lease-up,” said Joe Swensson, senior director of real estate development with Opus. “Our extensive experience throughout the greater Denver metropolitan area, including Centennial, positions Opus very well to deliver a highly desirable project.”

Swensson added that Opus is already seeing steady interest from prospective users.

Designed to accommodate up to six tenants, the building can be divided into spaces as small as 21,000 square feet. The 32-foot clear height building will provide the highest power capacity among competitive developments in the submarket, include 28 truck docks and six drive-in dock doors, offer parking for 268 vehicles and be electric vehicle ready. The building will also include aesthetic features such as extensive front-facing glass and architectural design elements. The project site is optimally located 30 minutes from downtown Denver and benefits from Centennial’s well-developed multimodal transportation network with immediate access to Arapahoe Rd., Interstate 25, Interstate 225, E-470 and Centennial Airport.

Opus is the developer, design-builder and architect and structural engineer of record on the project, where earthwork and grading activities are already underway, and which is scheduled to deliver in early Q1 2026. Todd Witty, SIOR and Daniel Close, SIOR with CBRE are marketing the space for lease.

“We are thrilled to be a part of this exceptional industrial development designed to meet the highest standards of modern industrial space. Opus has a proven track record of delivering highly desirable industrial facilities, and we are confident that this opportunity in the Southeast submarket will be no different,” said Daniel Close with CBRE.
