Developers bank on lofty living The Gazette Telegraph (Rich Laden) August 4, 2002 Downtown Loft Project-CityWalk Downtown The former Medalion West building, southeast of Wahsatch Avenue and Kiowa Street, is farther away on downtown’s eastern edge. Still developer Randy Case is counting on downtown’s allure to attract buyers to the building he’s now remodeling. The first units of his project, CityWalk Downtown, will be available in a few months. It will have 86 units, most which will be condos. However, six of the units will extend over two floors, giving those buyers the ability to enjoy loft-like living. Case recognizes his building is slightly removed from downtown’s core. And yet, given his marketing scheme, he sees that as a plus. “They’re adjacent to all the downtown amenities and activities, and yet they don’t have to live with it 24 hours a day if they choose not to,” he said. Originally, Case planned to call his project the Kiowa Lofts – tapping the mindset of people who want true loft-living. Now, he’s changed the name to CityWalk Downtown defines the project better. “We will be marketing those as condominiums and lofts,” Case said. “Whatever people want to call them at the end of the day is their choice. We’re catering to a downtown use.”

A lot wait ing on downtown The Gazette Telegraph (Rich Laden) November 18, 2001 Developer and property owner Randy Case said he sorted through numerous ideas over several years for a sliver of land his family owned on the southeast corner of Nevada Avenue and Kiowa Street. The property, about one-third of an acre, is the former site of a bank drive-up facility. Case, whose family has owned and developed land around town for years, said he considered lofts, a multistory building and a hotel for the site. He also entertained deals to sell it to other developers or to the city. Finally, after none of those deals took off, another investor made an acceptable offer earlier this year. Given the economy’s downturn, Case said, he sold the property.

Senior Housing Driven by Need The Gazette Telegraph (Rich Laden) November 5, 2001 ‘Randy Case, whose family members are longtime landowners and developers in the Springs, said developers are open to renting apartments to seniors and don’t want to fence them out. Yet, he acknowledged that market-rate rents may preclude some seniors from renting in such projects. Some developers are even open to setting aside some units for seniors and other groups; one of Case’s companies partnered with an Ohio firm in the development of the Lynmar Apartments, which opened in 1999 in the north part of the city. That project took advantage of tax credits available through local governments and set aside 45 of its 100 units for tenants on fixed incomes – seniors and anybody else, Case said. But in doing things like this, developers risk having their projects labeled “affordable housing,” which turns off other potential tenants or causes nearby residents to oppose the project, Case said. The label “can kill a project, it’s just that simple,” Case said.’

Downtown retailers feel need to shuffle locations The Gazette Telegraph Inside Business (Sara Nesbitt) March 26, 2001 ‘Randy Case, owner of Case Holdings, said movement among retailers in the downtown is expected. “It’s the market at work, and it’s certainly a part of a capitalistic society,” Case said. “Plus, businesses don’t tend to move during the winter, so when spring hits, so does opportunity.” Case believes the opening of the new south tower of the Plaza of the Rockies, 111 S. Tejon St., will boost interest in downtown retailing, and as a result both the Art Hardware and Roger’s Shoes locations will be quickly filled. “They’re both corner locations, and they have double exposure on two streets, ” Case said.

Small developers with big-time plans The Gazette Telegraph (Rich Laden) October 23, 2000 ‘Finding a niche, keeping overhead low keys to success’ and ‘Long-term business relationships can be invaluable asset’ Randy Case, whose family has developed property for years throughout Colorado Springs and whose father at one time operated a huge commercial brokerage said his personal involvement in one deal stemmed from simply enjoying the food at TGI Friday’s. “We went after TGIF’s because I liked them in Arizona,” said Case. “I convinced their ownership they’d be a good fit.” T.G.I. Friday’s opened their first and only Springs restaurant on Case’s 5 acre site northwest of Interstate 25 and Woodmen. The area is home to several hotels and other restaurants.

Developers Not Objecting To Airport Development Plans The Gazette Telegraph (Rich Laden) August 2, 1999 ‘Randy Case, president of Case International Co. and whose family is a partner in a group that owns 30 acres at Powers and Fountain boulevards, said he and colleagues haven’t said a lot about the city’s airport development plans. However, they’ll be heard from eventually. Private developers want the airport to succeed, Case said. It the city snags big users, money from leasing airport property (the airport used federal funds to buy land and therefore can’t sell it) gets plowed back into the facility. A healthy airport stands a better chance of attracting more flights and even new airlines. In turn, that helps the business community, which wants as many nonstop flights to as many destinations as possible. What’s more, Case added, big users at the airport mean employees who need places to eat and buy gas, among other goods and services. Private developers are poised to offer their land for restaurants and service stations. “That’s why the private sector, so far, is standing back a bit, I suspect, and watching,” Case said. “They want to see how its going to unfold.” Case predicted: “The private sector has a level of resistance that has yet to be heard as it relates to the competitive factor and as it relates to land use on property that otherwise could be private. That voice will mature over time.” ‘
