Bill Spicer, owner of Empire Staple Company, is thrilled to have a new location with access to both I-25 and I-70. “The Company has been looking for a new location from our current location on Platte Street for about 5 to 8 years,” adding, “…this location of 58th Avenue and I-25 has always been, in my mind’s eye, the right place to be.”
Crossroads Commerce Park is a modern, master-planned development of nearly 1 million square feet of Class A industrial space in multiple buildings, situated near the prime interchange of Interstates 25 and 70. The flexible site plan at Crossroads provides for building sizes from 17,000-to-376,000 square feet with cross dock, front park/front load and front park/rear load designs.
