Murphy Company Acquires Northern Business Center

DENVER, CO - Murphy Company, one of the nation’s largest mechanical contracting firms, today announced that it has acquired the Northern Business Center at 12789 Emerson Street in Thornton, CO. The company plans to transform the manufacturing area into 90,000 square feet of fabrication space and to relocate a majority of its Colorado-based employees into the building’s 40,000 square feet of office space by January 2021. The announcement was made by Patrick Murphy Jr., president and CEO.

 “This acquisition reflects a major investment in the progression of our company and is reflective of the business success Murphy Company has experienced in the Colorado marketplace,” commented Murphy. “We will be consolidating all functions into a single building. This will allow us to more than double our fabrication and manufacturing capacity to serve our clients. The previous owner of the facility added several valuable office amenities to complement the recent build out of its well-finished office space. Our Murphy team will have a comfortable home for decades.”

Conveniently located at 128th Street and Washington Avenue in the north metro Denver area, the building offers proximity and quick access to I-25 and E-470 and excellent visibility for Murphy Company’s presence in Colorado. The two-story office contains significant collaborative spaces, conference rooms, and a kitchen/cafeteria, along with a training room and fitness center. 

“This is a great facility for Murphy Company as we look to expand our market presence and grow our Murphy team in Colorado. We are thrilled to be a member of the growing Thornton business community and continue our relationship with Adams County,” added Murphy.
