Our Services.
Lighting the way for our clients.
From ground breaking to headline making, our services are designed to help our clients succeed seamlessly.
Our extensive experience and expertise encompasses intimate knowledge of the development process from conception to delivery. We have worked as essential partners, advisors and advocates for developers on small scale retail to major anchor tenants. From single story to multi-complex mixed- use, industrial, institutional and healthcare projects, P3 (Private, Public, Partnerships) projects, luxury high rise and office buildings. If it can be designed, built and leased, we’ve done it. And we’ve done it for over 3 decades by building a reputation for results, and through forging successful partnerships with our clients throughout Colorado and across the United States.
Probably the most effective aspect of Forge Partners is our “Plug-In” capabilities. We like to think of ourselves as nimble. We can enter your project on a per deal basis. If you need us for the whole development, we’re there. If you need us for only a small aspect, like brokerage services, tenant coordination, project management and accounting, or just construction consulting, we’re in. Below, you’ll find our entire menu of capabilities and services. Dig in.
Real Estate Services
There is one clear difference between Forge’s Real Estate Brokerage approach that separates us from, well just about any other brokerage company in the field. Our success and expertise is derived from an in-depth understanding and knowledge of Development. That’s rare. Very rare. But so essential to our client’s success. You see, unlike other Real Estate brokerage firms who just throw a bunch of deals at a project to get it done, we have a plan, a long term vision garnered from years of knowing how to “build” a project’s success.
We pride ourselves on finding the right uses and tenant mixes to build brand success for a project over the long haul. We devise forward thinking leases so not to restrict the project evolution and growth potential as the market grows and fluctuates. And most importantly, our entire team, Real Estate and Development live under one roof. Complete transparency of information from both sides of our company makes us stronger, smarter and better for our clients. Our Real Estate arm is involved with the full development project process which makes them immediately more efficient in problem solving and lease tenancy than a stand- alone brokerage firm who may or may not understand the intricacies of a project’s persona, development, financial criteria, or client value aspirations. That’s why, when you meet one of our brokers, they are fully versed in the full development process. Which makes them smarter and quite honestly a whole lot better at forging success for our clients.

Construction Development Services
Just as our strength in Real Estate Brokerage is strengthened by our Development knowledge, our Construction Development Services are strengthen by our close coordination with our Real Estate Brokerage Services.

By understanding the heartbeat of the market, our clients looking to embark on a new development and construction project have a long sited view of what the market needs are, what trends in the market are emerging, and what does not work anymore. This makes every project we help our clients develop and construct one that will stand up to the expectations our clients need and demand. In essence, our team becomes an essential component of each and every client we represent. That’s a forge partnership.
Owner & Development Services
This is where our greatest strengths lie. We know intimately that the cost management, construction management and deliver of a project on time and on budget can make all the difference over the lifetime of a development.
