Container Homes Being Sold as Multi-Unit Industrial Hotel in Florence Colorado
Three tiny homes, labeled as the Industrial Hotel, were created from shipping containers and recycled materials. Now, they are for sale in Colorado as well as the 0.5 acres of land where they sit.
When these Colorado developers set out to create a solution for affordable housing in Colorado, little did they know where it would lead. They created these extremely unique tiny homes, made from shipping containers and recycled materials from various sites throughout the state, like the historic Florence High School.
You’ll find innovate and sustainable finishes while still providing modern conveniences. Metal first aide boxes / fire blanket boxes recovered from Florence High School are now medicine cabinets in the tiny house bathroom. Some of the trim, ceiling boards, and walls are collections of rescued and repurposed barn wood from a Main Street building in Cañon City, Colorado. Even the interior décor highlights the best of mid-century modern design with eye-catching pieces like salvaged private jet seats.
Whether you’re looking for an investment opportunity to continue VRBO rentals, or a multi-family living arrangement, the Industrial Hotel will provide and conversation piece and continue to get national media.
For more information on these container homes, please contact Wayne Jennings at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Rocky Mountain REALTORS® and reference MLS # 67137.

Unique Properties in Colorado You Can Buy Now
Historic Home
Original Fireplace and Hardwood Floors Retro Kitchen Upper Apartment With Mountain Views
1003 E Boulder St, Colorado Springs, CO 80903 A charming historic home near downtown Colorado Springs has been in the same family for 83 years, three generations in the family. When they purchased it in 1937, it was being used as a boarding house and over the years they crafted it to meet their family’s needs. As Colorado Springs grew rapidly in the mid 1900’s, there was need for additional housing with the influx of soldiers at the local army base. This unique home on Boulder St is just a mile from the heart of downtown and was a perfect location for a rental property. So, the owners closed of the upstairs from the inside of the home and created an exterior entrance to the 3 bedrooms, full kitchen and bathroom on the upper level to use it as a rental. Throughout the years, they’ve kept the original character and charm by maintaining and preserving this unique property, which still has most of the original hardware, wood trim, solid wood pocket doors, and hardwood flooring. | MLS # 6031664, 3258 sq ft. Listed at $650,000 http://1003-e-boulder-street.htour4u.com/
Former Safeway Grocery Store on Historic Site in Florence, CO
111 Church Ave, Florence, CO 81226 Located in Fremont County, this building has some significant history in the City of Florence (known as the Antique Capital of Colorado), but more significant is the site it’s located. Before this building was constructed in 1960, the area was a railroad freight yard and interchange for trains for the Florence & Cripple Creek Railroad. After changing hands in ownership, the current building was built as a Safeway grocery store which closed in the 1980’s. The property now houses a large antique store (Willie’s Antiques and Collectables) which also has an attached residence in the back of the store. The residential suite allows the owners to work and live in the same location, and includes a nicely appointed condo with all the amenities like granite countertops and wood floors, in-unit washer and dryer, and a covered porch outside. It’s a prime location for retail, at the end of Main Street right along a popular highway that connects the larger Canon City to Florence. | MLS # 5547826, 8007 sq ft. Listed at $799,500 http://111-church-avenue.htour4u.com/
Main Street Retail Store with Residential Loft Living Above
122 E Main Street, Florence, CO 81226 This work-live concept is a great opportunity to have a prime location for your store or business, plus zero commute to work and the opportunity to live on Main Street in downtown. Located within steps of excellent local restaurants, antique stores, coffee shops and even a bowling alley. The loft above includes 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and about 1200 sq ft of living space, similar to the retail space below. Plus, there’s some great history in this building from 1895, which can be found by contacting the local historic society at the Florence Pioneer Museum and Research Center. You can even have your friend open their business next door and be neighbors, as 124 E Main St is also on the market. | MLS # 1542045, 2580 sq ft.

Defunct Golf Course in Canon City
1232 County Road 143, Canon City, CO 81212 Ask a local Fremont County resident and most will remember the Shadow Hills Golf Course. Once a community meeting place and destination for an afternoon in the sunshine playing golf and drinks at the clubhouse, this former golf course is now for sale. Despite the empty pool and overgrown course, there are still signs of the memories and reminders of the opportunity in such an investment. The game room and bar still host pool and ping pong tables, with many of the commercial furnishings still on-site. Plus, the mountain views off the balcony and through the large picture windows in the 10,000 square foot club house keeps investors dreaming about what to do with the 197-acre property. Perhaps a future home community or keeping the grounds commercial as an event center? The location is ideal for easy access to recreation and popular destinations like the City of Florence (known as the Antique Capital of Colorado), and some of the top tourist attractions like Royal Gorge Bridge and Park. There are some many options for how to use this property in the future, but locals will never forget the great memories here. | MLS # 63952 Listed at $2,800,000 https://www.peakdream.com/homes-for-sale-details/1232-CR-143-CANON-CITY-CO-81212/63952/468/

“Sell My House Fast” Colorado Springs
When our clients say Sell My House Fast Colorado Springs Realtors at Berkshire Hathaway jump to the opportunity and challenge. Our team of experienced real estate agents engage intentional, direct and effective marketing tactics immediately. The specifics might bore you, but the results are what you’ll talk about for years when your home is sold as quickly as some of these.
320 Childe Dr, Colorado Springs, CO 80906
This was perhaps one of the most impressive homes we’ve had the privileged to market and sell. Granted, the absolutely breathtaking views and updated fixtures and amenities helped sell this custom Broadmoor home. But typically, a home in this price range (this home was listed for $799,000) stays on the market for an average of 9 months. With an average price point just above $350,000 for single family homes, this beautiful home in southwest Colorado Springs would typically be expected to have slower showing activity and longer days on market. However, this home was under contract in less than 24 hours with multiple showings and competitive offers that exceeded list price. Real estate agent Wayne Jennings represented the sellers and was able to provide the marketing exposure and tap into the niche buyer group that had been searching for this type of house. Consequently, when it hit the market in April 2019, it was a quick turnaround and huge celebration for the sellers.
230 E Main St, Florence, CO 81226
Just outside of Colorado Springs to the southwest is the quaint town of Florence, CO. It’s been a tourist destination for years, as the town has rightfully claimed the label, “Antique Capital of Colorado” due to the solid option of antique stores along Main Street. With a lower altitude and warmer climate that Colorado Springs, plus a homey small town community, Colorado natives and out-of-state residents are flocking here to vacation, invest, and live. So, a newly renovated single family home on Main Street within walking distance of Florence restaurants, shopping and entertainment has a strong appeal. In fact, many are waiting to jump on an opportunity like this, especially while home prices are still reasonable. That’s exactly what happened at 230 E Main St the day it went on the market. After years of renovations and hard work, the seller made what was an eyesore along Main into a luxurious residence that anyone would love to call home. Buyers quickly set up private showings and the home was under contract within 24 hours.
4988 Old Fountain Blvd, Colorado Springs, CO 80916
Homes all over Colorado Springs are represented by our agents and selling in 24 hours or less! We sell in every area, every price range. With 76% of the sales in the Colorado Springs area in the $200,000-$400,000 price range, there’s a lot of competition among buyers. It’s definitely a seller’s market in this bracket of sales (meaning the seller has the advantage and more power in negotiations, etc) and we saw that on 4988 Old Fountain Blvd. This ranch-style home has a lot of great curb appeal, plus extras like a spacious sunroom and patio, and RV parking on the side of the home. When a homeowner says Sell My House Fast, Colorado Springs real estate market still has it’s challenges in accomplishing this goal. The real estate agent has to be thoughtful of pricing the home correctly, marketing and promoting the right features, and putting it on buyer’s radar before there’s even a sign in the yard. Realtor Marion Meyer nailed it on this one, making sure that her colleagues, potential buyers and other key industry contacts knew this listing was coming soon. Thanks to her thoughtful and intentional homeselling tactics, it’s another case of 24 hours of showings ending in a solid contract for the seller.
