Landlords Hyde Development and Mortenson Properties, through entities 76 Commerce Center LLC and 76 Commerce Center 3 LLC, sued third-party logistics operator BroadRange Logistics LLC on May 29, 2026 in Colorado state court, alleging the Georgia-based tenant owes $32 million after defaulting on what was billed as the largest speculative industrial lease in Colorado history. BroadRange signed a long-term lease for more than 1.1 million square feet at the 76 Commerce Center in Brighton in 2024, began missing its $590,000 monthly rent within six months of its free-rent period ending, and had its leases terminated on March 13, 2026 after further defaults following an amended lease.

Why it matters

The default of a tenant that had signed the state's largest speculative industrial lease only two years earlier illustrates how quickly a marquee logistics deal can unravel once a 3PL tenant's own volumes soften, leaving landlords to absorb both unpaid rent and sunk tenant-improvement allowances. Owners underwriting large speculative industrial leases to growth-stage logistics operators should treat this default, and a similar one the same tenant faces in Pennsylvania, as a signal to stress-test concentration risk in big single-tenant industrial deals.

Hyde Development and Mortenson Properties, the landlords behind 76 Commerce Center in Brighton, Colorado, have sued their anchor tenant, BroadRange Logistics LLC, for $32 million after the Georgia-based third-party logistics operator defaulted on what was billed as the largest speculative industrial lease in Colorado history. The suit, filed through entities 76 Commerce Center LLC and 76 Commerce Center 3 LLC, follows a rapid collapse of a lease relationship that began with considerable fanfare less than two years earlier.
