The property sits within a prime retail node featuring popular retailers including Whole Foods, Sprouts, Total Wine & More and Lowe's.

"Marston Park Plaza represented an exceptional investment opportunity in one of Denver's most stable retail corridors," said Bova. "The property's strong in-place cash flow, combined with value-add potential through lease-up of vacant spaces, made this an attractive opportunity for both the borrower and lender."

"The sale of Marston Park Plaza demonstrates the ongoing appeal of well-positioned retail centers in Denver's thriving submarkets," said Schmidt.
