Description
Positioned for flexibility, scale, and long-term value, 280 7th Avenue offers a rare opportunity to secure a substantial commercial property in the heart of Ouray, Coloradoone of the most recognizable and sought-after mountain towns in the San Juan Mountains. Located in an Enterprise Zone, this large commercial square footage is increasingly difficult to find in small mountain communities, making this property especially compelling for an owner-user, investor, or business operator looking for room to grow. Located within Ouray’s C-1 Commercial District, the zoning is intended to encompass the City’s commercial business district and accommodate retail, office, service-based businesses, residential uses, and institutional uses consistent with a traditional downtown business district. That flexibility creates a strong foundation for a wide range of possibilities, including professional office, medical, showroom, retail warehouse, restaurant, bar/lounge, light manufacturing, mixed-use, or other commercial concepts, subject to applicable approvals and buyer due diligence. Ouray’s economy is powered by a unique blend of year-round tourism, outdoor recreation, local services, and destination-based business demand. Known as the Switzerland of America, Ouray draws visitors for its hot springs, hiking, waterfalls, Jeep and off-road trails, ice climbing, scenic drives, historic downtown, and unmatched mountain setting. This natural beauty is not just the backdropit is an economic driver that supports local businesses serving both residents and visitors. The property’s functional commercial layout, utility infrastructure, and adaptable building features create an ideal platform for immediate use, expansion, or future repositioning. With public sewer, electric, natural gas, water service, and single-phase power identified, along with general office/commercial/mixed-use features, the property offers the practical backbone businesses need in a market where flexible commercial space is limited. Whether your vision is to establish a headquarters, expand an existing operation, create a destination retail or service-based business, or hold a flexible commercial asset in a supply-constrained mountain market, 280 7th Avenue delivers the scale, zoning, infrastructure, and location that are hard to duplicate. 280 7th Avenue is more than a buildingit is a foothold in one of Colorado’s most beautiful, resilient, and opportunity-rich mountain communities. The property is currently divided into two units. The office space is currently listed for lease and is vacant. The second unit is occupied month to month by Ouray Mountain Guides and the rent is $500 per month plus utilities and property taxes. The two units used to be one large retail space and could easily be opened back up to accommodate a large user.
