16099 S Golden Rd is a 4,604 square foot freestanding Mixed-Use auto retail/office (previously apartment) property located in Golden, Colorado. The property sits on a 0.34-acre lot with approximately 143 feet of frontage along South Golden Road, which sees traffic counts of approximately 16,600 vehicles per day. The site includes 40 surface parking spaces and is improved with a two-story masonry building originally constructed in 1968 and renovated in 2001.
The asset is positioned in the West Golden submarket near the intersections of South Golden Road and Orion Street and provides strong access to US Highway 6 and the greater Denver metro area. The surrounding area features a dense concentration of service retail, automotive users, and residential neighborhoods, making the property well suited for automotive, service, and retail-oriented users seeking visibility, access, and strong daily traffic exposure.
South Golden Road represents an early-entry opportunity into a corridor undergoing meaningful transition, with clear upside as new mixed-use development is delivered and land values strengthen. Historically characterized by lower-density industrial and service uses, the corridor is actively evolving into a more modern, residential-supported commercial environment.
Significant residential growth is already underway, led by REVA Development’s AVERE on South Golden — a 353-unit mixed-use project on approximately 14.4 acres — alongside additional approved projects totaling hundreds of apartment units, townhomes, and new retail space fronting South Golden Road. These developments signal increasing market confidence and a rapidly expanding customer base that will support neighborhood-serving retail and service uses.
This growth is reinforced by an improving amenity mix, with established destination operators such as Barrels and Bottles helping anchor the corridor and accelerate its shift toward experience-driven and community-oriented retail. Public-sector investment further supports the long-term outlook, as roadway safety and functionality improvements aligned with FHWA “road diet” concepts enhance walkability, traffic flow, and overall livability as density increases.
Collectively, these factors position South Golden Road as a compelling infill growth corridor, offering investors and users the opportunity to secure a foothold ahead of full stabilization, while benefiting from strong fundamentals driven by housing delivery, infrastructure investment, and evolving consumer demand.
