Project

Rocky Mountain Commerce Park (‘RMCP’) is a 28-acre light industrial park/subdivision located directly across from Eagle County Regional Airport in Gypsum, Colorado. The flexible light industrial zoning district and business-first stance of the Town of Gypsum provides for an ideal environment for many types of businesses to grow and flourish in the heart of the Vail Valley. The property is located at the corner of Cooley Mesa Road and Spring Creek Road directly south of Eagle County Regional Airport.

  • Land Development
  • Commercial Real Estate
  • Light Industrial Subdivision
  • Short Investment Horizon

RMCP represents almost 5% of developable commercial land in all of Eagle County

Upon completion of the sales process, Rocky Mountain Commerce Park will make up 9.32% of the value of Gypsum’s light industrial land.

RMCP will serve as an incubator for local and regional business operators in the Western Slope / Rocky Mountain Region.


RMCP provides an attractive, flat site for building, covered in high desert flora with a gentle slope towards the northwest and Cooley Mesa Road. RMCP is an ideal site for large-scale warehousing, regional fulfillment, and trade for local businesses. It is centrally located between the Roaring Fork Valley and Vail Valley, providing a prominent location in the distribution network to two high-end resort markets.

*Tesla began the development of its newest sales & service center located at RMCP in July 2022.

An Epicenter for Rocky Mountain Distribution & Logistics.

1. Air

RMCP is directly adjacent to the Eagle County Regional Airport, home of the Vail Valley Jet Center, making it an ideal distribution location for operators that incorporate air into logistics operations.

2. Rail

Attractive, multi-acre sites provide needed space for warehouse, distribution and custom build-to-suit opportunities with the space required to prepare shipments for rail transportation, or long-term cold or hot storage.

3. Interstate

RMCP also provides immediate access to I-70. It takes less than five minutes to reach Colorado’s primary interstate; adding significant value to operators and a competitive advantage over other parcels in the area.

Home Base & Storage

Store equipment and goods while also having a base for services.

Optimal Resort Accessibility

Close proximity to Vail and Beaver Creek ski resorts.

Hungry, Local Demand

Demand for commercial land far outstrips supply in the area.

Light Industrial Zoning

RMCP represents one of the few places in Eagle county where light industrial uses are allowed.

New Rezi Development

1,700+ multi-family and residential for sale and for lease units are planned for the Gypsum area.

A Bedroom Community

Gypsum is a primary bedroom community for the workforce that constructs / maintains up-valley resort communities.

Growing Eagle Population

As up-valley communities become a more desirable place to live, Eagle County’s population continues to grow at one of the fastest rates in the state.

County Growth Opportunity

The path of growth in Eagle County lies within down-valley communities, such as Gypsum.

Air Colorado Convenience

Gypsum is home to the Eagle County Regional Airport, which served 341,000 passengers in the 12 months ending July 2018. The Airport is currently served by three major airlines; American, Delta and United.

Limited, Light Industrial Opportunities.

Currently, less than 0.4% of the Town of Gypsum’s land is developable commercial land. In the entire county, only 601 acres of developable commercial land remain, representing 0.06% of the entire county’s land use. According to CoStar Group, there are approximately 1.1 million square feet of industrial real estate in Eagle County, of which 747,000 square feet is located in the town of Gypsum.
Demand for property in this land-constrained zoning district continues to accelerate, while available supply declines rapidly. RMCP adds significant value to Eagle County’s light industrial market; it unlocks a crucial component of the county’s continued growth in a time of peak demand.
