The subject property is a freestanding Checker Auto Parts store located in the NW Denver suburb of Lafayette, CO , approximately 1/4 mile off US Highway 287. (Daily Traffic counts of over 40,000 vehicles per day). Traffic generators in the immediate area include Lafayette City Hall, Albertsons Supermarket, Taco Bell, Wendy’s, KFC, Sonic Drive-In, Pizza Hut, Quizno’s, Radio Shack, Shell, Grease Monkey, Cole Creek Sports Center, and a large Senior Housing facility. Wal-Mart vacated the shopping center behind Checker Auto to move to a location that would accommodate a Super Wal-Mart. The City of Lafayette owns portions of the center and plans to convert the site into a mixed - use ”town center”. Lafayette is located on the eastern edge of Boulder County, just northwest of Denver, offering a small-town atmosphere with the convenience of being minutes from Denver and Boulder. Lafayette is poised to become the premier community along the Front Range. With it’s close proximity to the Northwest Parkway and direct access to Denver International Airport, and new commercial developments, Lafayette’s future looks very promising.
