The short answer Goff CRE Group, brokered by Nassar Realty, represents tenants and buyers of flex, office and retail space in Broomfield, Colorado. We represented the tenant in a 2,837 SF flex lease at 530 Compton St. Broomfield is a consolidated city and county, so one local government handles zoning and permits for the whole area.
Who we help in Broomfield
Broomfield is a short drive from our Erie base and a natural option for businesses that need to reach both Denver and Boulder. Our Broomfield clients tend to be smaller companies leasing flex space with an office and an overhead door, service businesses that want a US 36 or I-25 address, and owner-users looking to buy.
Is Broomfield a city or a county?
Both. Broomfield became a consolidated city and county on November 15, 2001, formed from parts of Adams, Boulder, Jefferson and Weld counties. For a tenant or buyer, the practical upshot is simple: zoning, building permits and county services all run through the City and County of Broomfield.

What property types are in Broomfield?
Suburban office parks, regional and neighborhood retail, hotel and mixed-use, and flex space. A tenant that needs a large office floor has more to choose from along US 36 than in the east Boulder County towns. Smaller businesses often find that a flex unit gives them office, storage and a loading door for less than a pure office suite.
Leasing in Broomfield
Office space may be quoted full service, modified gross or triple net, and flex is usually triple net. Convert every option to an all-in monthly cost, including your share of operating expenses and any build-out the landlord will not cover. We represent tenants from search through lease signing; see tenant representation and our commercial lease checklist. We do not publish asking rents because they vary by property and change quarterly. Ask us for current comps.
Buying in Broomfield
Owner-users in Broomfield are usually looking at flex or office condos or small freestanding buildings. With an SBA 504 loan, an owner-occupant of an existing building typically puts about 10% down and must occupy at least 51% of the space; 7(a) loans can also cover equipment, working capital and business acquisitions. Rates and terms vary by lender, so confirm with yours. See buying your building with an SBA loan and buyer representation.
Parts of Broomfield are in the North Metro Enterprise Zone, a state program offering income tax credits to qualifying businesses. Whether a property qualifies depends on its address, so check before you count on it.
