Lowrey Burnett, CCIM with Fountainhead Commercial recently represented a 1031 Exchange buyer & successfully closed the transaction.
The buyer, a Texas-based investor, purchased the property near Ft Myers, FL valued at $2.25 million.
Property had a long-term lease in place with a national-credit auto parts retailer.
Client deferred 100% of their capital gains tax liability with this purchase.
Completing a 1031 exchange is one of the most effective tools available for deferring capital gains taxes after selling investment real estate. While the IRS tax code outlines strict timelines and compliance requirements, most investors quickly learn that the real challenge is not the mechanics of the 1031 Exchange — it’s choosing the right replacement strategy.
Congratulations Lowrey Burnett, CCIM with Fountainhead Commercial for being named 2025 Member of the Year!
Lowrey serves on the Board of Directors as Past President.
Thank you for your dedication to help our members thrive in Wheat Ridge Business Association (WRBA).
As experts at 1031 Exchange commercial real estate transactions, Fountainhead Commercial contributed an article to the November 2025 edition of Colorado Real Estate Journal.
As a business owner in Colorado, you are probably already thinking about what next year will bring. You may be planning a lease renewal, anticipating a relocation, or wondering whether 2026 might finally be the right time to buy your commercial property. When the economy shifts, the commercial real estate landscape shifts with it. If you are trying to make smart decisions now that will benefit your business later, you are not alone.
This article focuses on what we can reasonably verify today about the path into 2026 particularly as it relates to Federal Reserve leadership changes, monetary policy direction, and how those forces historically affect office, industrial, and commercial real estate investment decisions.
On behalf of Landlord, Fountainhead Commercial negotiated a 5-year lease renewal at 5001 E 38th Ave.
