Off Grid Trailers leasedapprox- imately 15,000 square feet at 7173 S. Revere Parkway in the Elevate at Central Centennial industrial park. The front portion of Off Grid Trailer’s new facility will have a showroom for trailers and retail products like rooftop tents, awnings and other camping gear. The back portion of the facility will be a retail warehouse with space for shipping and receiving for the U.S. operations of Off Grid Trailer’s e-commerce store. Kory Davis, Off Grid Trailer’s director of marketing, said the company was attracted to the space because of the property’s proximity to the airport and major highways, and because the building is relatively new, having been built in 2020. Sagard Real Estate represent- ed the landlord, Evox Co Cen- tennial LLC, in the lease transac- tion for the space, while Off Grid Trailers was unrepresented. Off Grid Trailers will have a soft open of the space in January with plans for a grand opening inMay. The companywill start with three employees for the soft opening and expand its local workforce as needed. Off Grid Trailers began in 2018 as a manufacturer of off road- capable camping trailers primar- ily for the overlanding market. During the pandemic, Off Grid Trailers sawmore customers who were first-time campers, provid- ing the opportunity to bring in an online retail store aspect to the business. Off Grid Trailers operates its headquarters, and sales and retail store in Edmonton, Alberta, Can- ada, and manufactures its four trailer models in Saskatchewan, Canada. The company is looking to continue expansion in both the U.S. and Canada, although next steps have not been set yet, Davis said. s Off Grid Trailers leases first U.S. location in Centennial by Avalon Jacka DENVER – Mica RiNo added two new retail tenants at the 11-story luxury apartment com- munity.
