The Draper Announces Retail and Office Leasing Opportunities in Downtown Loveland

October 8, 2026 | Loveland, Colorado

Prime downtown storefronts, distinctive office spaces, and early leasing incentives are now available at The Draper—one of Loveland's most ambitious historic redevelopment projects.

River of OZ, LLC, developer of The Draper, is pleased to announce the launch of early leasing for approximately 22,760 square feet of retail space and 21,380 square feet of office space in the heart of downtown Loveland.

To help connect the development with businesses throughout Northern Colorado, River of OZ has engaged Loveland Commercial Real Estate and Fort Collins Real Estate to market the available commercial spaces.

Located at 301–333 East Fourth Street, The Draper will combine beautifully restored historic buildings with contemporary architecture, new residences, professional offices, shopping, dining, and entertainment.

The development offers a rare opportunity for businesses to establish a presence in a distinctive downtown destination—and for early tenants to help shape its future.

A Prime Opportunity for Anchor Retail Tenants

The Draper is actively seeking anchor tenants interested in prominent locations within the redevelopment.

One of the most desirable opportunities is a 3,920-square-foot corner retail space at East Fourth Street and Lincoln Avenue, offering a highly visible location at a key downtown intersection.

Additional retail opportunities include:

  • Two approximately 1,475-square-foot storefronts along Lincoln Avenue, ideal for boutiques, specialty retailers, or service businesses.

  • Ground-floor retail spaces ranging from approximately 2,023 to 2,927 square feet, suitable for a variety of commercial concepts.

  • A distinctive 2,250-square-foot second-floor retail space adjoining a planned 3,000-square-foot rooftop patio, offering exciting possibilities for hospitality, dining, or destination-oriented businesses, subject to final approvals.

Current suite divisions are flexible, and larger or customized spaces may be considered.

Whether you're envisioning a signature restaurant, neighborhood café, specialty market, boutique, or flagship retail location, The Draper offers an opportunity to create something special in downtown Loveland.

Professional Office Space in a Distinctive Downtown Setting

The Draper also plans approximately 21,380 square feet of professional office space, combining the character of historic downtown buildings with modern commercial accommodations.

The office component is intended to appeal to architectural, engineering, legal, financial, technology, consulting, and other professional businesses seeking a memorable location for their employees and clients.

For businesses considering relocation, expansion, or consolidation, early involvement offers the opportunity to discuss space requirements and influence the final configuration.

Imagine welcoming clients to an office surrounded by historic architecture, restaurants, shops, entertainment, and the energy of a revitalized downtown block.

More Than a Building—A New Downtown Destination

The Draper is being designed as a vibrant mixed-use destination that brings together complementary businesses and activities.

The planned development includes:

  • 22,760 square feet of retail space with flexible storefront configurations.

  • 21,380 square feet of office space for professional and commercial users.

  • 55 planned apartments to bring additional residents and activity to the downtown district.

  • A planned 2,500-square-foot community theater, with Harrington Performing Art Group identified as the prospective tenant.

  • A rooftop patio and gathering space offering a distinctive amenity.

  • A planned 69-space basement parking facility, with allocation and terms to be determined.

The redevelopment will also preserve and adaptively reuse two important historic properties: the Majestic Theater and the Moore & Gray Building.

Together, these elements are intended to create an environment where residents, office workers, shoppers, diners, and visitors contribute to an active downtown throughout the day and evening.

Special Incentives for Early Leasing Commitments

Businesses that commit early may qualify for special leasing discounts.

River of OZ is offering early commitment incentives to encourage prospective tenants to become part of the project while architectural and space planning remain underway.

Early tenants may have an opportunity to:

  • Influence the layout and configuration of their commercial space.

  • Discuss customized space requirements before final design.

  • Explore opportunities for adjoining or combined suites.

  • Negotiate qualifying early commitment lease incentives.

  • Establish their business as one of the development's signature tenants.

Anchor tenants are especially encouraged to inquire now.

Early leasing commitments are an important step in advancing project financing and moving The Draper toward construction. By securing space during this stage, businesses can play a meaningful role in helping bring this historic downtown redevelopment to life.

Help Shape the Next Chapter of Downtown Loveland

The Draper represents an opportunity to participate in the transformation of an entire downtown block while celebrating the architecture and history that make Loveland unique.

River of OZ and its commercial real estate partners invite restaurant operators, retailers, professional firms, and prospective anchor tenants to explore the available spaces.
