Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
2929 W Colorado Avenue is a 23-unit multifamily asset offered for sale. The property is presented as a value-add opportunity, providing a new owner with the ability to reset and reposition the asset.
The building is located in Denver in the Barnum neighborhood, positioned along the South Federal Corridor. The site is one block off South Federal Boulevard, with immediate access to I-25, and downtown Denver is described as approximately four miles away.
The offering centers on the demand characteristics of a densest workforce-housing submarket, with the public remarks noting 44% renter-occupied conditions and undersupply at the Class C price point. The remarks also identify major local demand drivers including the Federal Center campus, Auraria higher-education campus, and Empower Field at Mile High. The corridor is further described as supported by a funded Federal Boulevard BRT initiative and a near-term reduction in the city’s supply pipeline, creating a set of converging conditions for an owner seeking to deploy a multifamily repositioning strategy.

Financial Insights
Estimated NOI and Cap Rate
NOI = area × lease_rate × (100 − vacancy) / 100 × (1 − expense_ratio). Net Operating Income — what the owner takes home each year before mortgage payments and income tax. Effective rent (asking rent minus vacancy losses) minus operating costs (taxes, insurance, maintenance, management).
NOI / Yr
$270,110
Cap rate = NOI / list price × 100. Capitalization rate — annual return on a fully cash purchase, before financing. NOI divided by price. Higher means more income per dollar invested, but usually also more risk or older condition. 5–8% is typical for stabilized commercial property; double digits often signal distressed deals.
Cap Rate
7.81%
Suggested Prices Based on Cap Rates
Cap rates vary significantly by property type, market, and asset quality.
Typical U.S. stable-market ranges:
Multifamily — 4.5% to 6.5% (Class A in primary markets often sub-5%; Class C in secondary markets 6%+)
Industrial / Logistics — 5.0% to 7.0% (compressed heavily in recent years due to e-commerce demand)
Office — 6.5% to 9%+ (wide spread post-2020; CBD Class A vs. suburban Class B varies dramatically)
Retail — 5.5% to 8.5% (grocery-anchored on the low end, unanchored strip centers higher)
Hospitality / Hotels — 7.5% to 10%+ (higher due to operational risk)
Self-Storage — 5.5% to 7.5%
Medical Office — 6.0% to 7.5%
Net Lease (single tenant, credit) — 5.0% to 7.0% depending on tenant credit and lease term
Rules of thumb:
Primary markets (NYC, SF, LA, Boston, DC) trade at lower cap rates than secondary/tertiary markets, often by 100–200 bps (bps, aka basis points; 1 bp = 0.01%).
Class A assets trade ~50–150 bps tighter than Class B, and Class B tighter than Class C.
Cap rates move inversely with price — a lower cap rate means a higher price for the same NOI.
Spread to the 10-year Treasury is a common benchmark; historically 200–400 bps over the 10-year.
