Colorado Springs Market
Colorado Springs is the fastest-growing city in Colorado and the military is the reason. Fort Carson, Peterson Space Force Base, Schriever Space Force Base, NORAD, and US Space Command create an enormous economic engine. Defense contractors, cybersecurity firms, and military support businesses form a stable base that doesn't fluctuate with consumer trends.
Healthcare is the other pillar. UCHealth Memorial, Penrose-St. Francis, and Children's Hospital Colorado anchor a medical infrastructure that serves all of southern Colorado. The Olympic and Paralympic Training Center adds a unique economic dimension. And the cost of doing business here is 20–30% below Denver, attracting businesses that want Front Range access without Denver prices.
Colorado Springs is where stability meets growth. The military guarantees steady demand. Healthcare is expanding. And the influx of businesses and residents from Denver is accelerating commercial development across the city.

Our team works with Colorado Springs business owners who have one big advantage: the military. Fort Carson, Peterson, Schriever, and Space Command create demand that doesn't go away when the economy dips. Medical office buildings with government-backed tenants are some of the strongest CRE investments in the state. Construction companies winning defense contracts need equipment fast.
Here's what works in the Springs: SBA 504 for medical office and commercial property acquisitions — 10% down, strong DSCR, stable tenants. For auto repair shops upgrading to ADAS calibration, equipment financing gets you the tools in 5–10 days. And if you're scaling a defense-related business, capital stacking funds the full expansion — equipment, space, and working capital. Check our loan cost calculator for real numbers.
