Opus Addresses Demand in Denver for Low-Congestion Industrial Alternatives
With a demand for industrial facilities in low-congestion areas, Opus developed, designed and built North Washington Commerce Center, a speculative industrial center 15 miles north of Denver on the I-25 corridor.

North Washington has multiple access points from I-25. It is conveniently within walking distance to Eastlake Station light rail and has excellent retail amenities in the immediate area.
