The recent purchases add an additional 565 units to the company’s growing portfolio
Denver, CO (June 2025) – Consolidated Investment Group (CIG), a leading-edge real estate investment company managing a large commercial portfolio, is proud to announce the recent purchase of apartment communities in the Denver and Dallas metro areas. The company now has more than 7,850 apartment units in its growing portfolio.
The Denver community is Aura Colliers Hill (which will be rebranded by CIG), located in Erie, CO, just 25 miles north of Denver. The sale price was not disclosed. The property is a three story, garden product and includes 329 units. It was completed in 2024 by Trinsic Residential Group, the seller.
“This acquisition reflects our belief in the long-term growth and desirability of Erie. It aligns well with our strategy of acquiring distinctive quality assets in markets with long-term upside,” said Logan Clark, CIG’s acquisition manager.

CIG, a long-term holder, currently has ownership interests in more than 7,850 apartment units throughout the United States.

In the Rocky Mountain Region, downtown Denver is unfortunately experiencing lost business, vacating office buildings, and an out-migration of residents due to a number of factors, including crime, property taxes, and a general disillusionment with the direction of the City. While this is bad news for the urban core, it creates new opportunities for growth and investment in small towns and emerging suburbs outside the metro area.
One of these locations is the Town of Firestone, just 40 miles north of the Mile High City. Firestone was established in 1908 as a coal mining community. At that time, the town was little more than a quiet community. Firestone remained a small town until its boom began in 2000; the population soared from 1,908 in 2000 to 10,147 in 2010. According to the 2010 U.S. Census, the Town grew 431 percent during that time, making it the fastest-growing community in Colorado. And while Firestone still maintains its rural charm, it is evolving into a location that many profitable businesses are turning their attention to, and people are choosing to reside.

In fact, Firestone’s population continues to grow, and numerous companies, developers, and business interests have either committed to growth and investment in Firestone or are on the cusp of doing so.
The Town of Firestone began 2025 with several strategic business partnerships in place. Some of the most recent business-friendly ventures in Firestone include a development agreement with retail giant Target, a cooperative development plan agreement with an oil and gas partner, and a new 252-acre mixed-use development ready to break ground this year.
Here is some of the exciting news the town is looking forward to:
A Proactive Work Plan
The Board of Trustees has adopted a proactive Work Plan to attract more businesses and establish more strategic partnerships to help the community thrive and grow for years to come. As people and businesses look for safe and welcoming environments to live and work, Firestone has already done a great deal to differentiate itself from other Colorado locales.
Target Development
This project is anticipated to be 128,000 square feet, will sell a mix of general merchandise and grocery items, and will have dedicated spaces for online shoppers to pick up their purchases conveniently. The Town of Firestone anticipates construction beginning in 2025 and the store opening in 2026. The project is anticipated to create a substantial economic benefit for Firestone by significantly increasing sales, use, property taxes, and other revenues for the Town. In addition, it will increase local employment opportunities and provide a much-needed and desired opportunity for community members to shop closer to home.

Water Plan
Like many other communities along the Front Range, the Town of Firestone has had to think creatively to ensure that both raw and treated water demands can be met for the next 50+ years. In 2020, the Board of Trustees adopted the 2020–2050 Water Action Plan to address these critical needs. This Plan sets Firestone on a path toward greater water independence, diversifies our water portfolio, and lays the foundation for sustainable growth.
Since 2004, the Town has invested more than $76 million in building a financially responsible, forward-looking water system for our residents and businesses. Through the 2020–2050 Water Action Plan, Firestone is reclaiming control over our water destiny, our costs, and our infrastructure, ensuring better service for the community. This Plan supports our growing population and helps attract the retail, commercial, and restaurant amenities our residents want and deserve.
Firestone Central Park
Since acquiring the 252-acre Central Park in 2005, the Town has explored various uses and developed multiple conceptual plans for this property. Central Park is already home to the Carbon Valley Regional Library, Town Hall, and the Municipal Court and Police Department Building. Since 2021, the Town has undertaken extensive efforts to prepare for development, including public outreach, creating a Master Plan (approved in 2021), and feasibility analyses with expert consultants. The vision for Central Park is to be a vibrant community gathering place that will serve generations to come, featuring mixed-use spaces, recreational opportunities, education, sports, entertainment, dining, and retail.
The Town is continuing to partner with a team of experts to guide a collaborative planning process, bringing together residents, Town leadership, and potential partners, with the goal of breaking ground on this project in 2025.
Oil & Gas Partnership
The Town of Firestone strongly believes in collaborating with our energy partners. A cooperative relationship and a balanced approach are best for the Firestone community. Kerr-McGee prepared a drilling plan with three locations outside but near Firestone limits. In exchange for Firestone’s willingness to grant right-of-way access permits and enter into certain license agreements, the company agreed to some substantial elements that greatly benefit the Town:
A one-time cash payment of $4 million to the Town of Firestone
A land donation of 78 acres to the Town of Firestone, this land is located at the southwest corner of Grant Avenue and Frontier Street.
Specific operational standards to mitigate impacts to residents around the operations and within the Town of Firestone
The commitment to plug and abandon 57 wells within the Town of Firestone boundaries.
In November 2024, because Kerr-McGee had met certain operational milestones, the one-time cash payment was delivered, and the land donation was complete. In addition, the plugging and abandoning process of the 57 wells is ongoing.
Residential Development
Like many communities along the Front Range, Firestone has experienced strong residential growth. From large master-planned communities with outstanding amenities to diverse multi-family developments, there are housing options for everyone. The Town of Firestone has made it a priority to establish high-quality standards that attract top builders, including Richmond American Homes, Brookfield Residential, Lennar, and The Blackburn Group.
Looking ahead, the Town anticipates adding approximately 7,000 new dwelling units over the next 10-15 years. This continued growth will further support ongoing efforts to expand retail, restaurant, and community amenities that enhance the quality of life for all Firestone residents.
Colorado and the Rocky Mountain Region provide numerous investment opportunities to people and companies looking for places to grow and expand their business. While overlooked in the past, towns such as Firestone are coming to the forefront as places more than ready to welcome new residents and businesses, especially as big cities lose their appeal.

Social capital, a cornerstone of the business community, is the value attached to network formation, built-up trust, and reciprocal relationships. This concept, centered on shared values, strong ties, consistency, and cooperation, is instrumental in advancing each other’s goals and objectives.
Personal branding, a potent tool, is the intentional and strategic practice of defining and promoting one’s values as an individual and potential business partner. By limiting one’s values, goals, and purpose, and showcasing one’s qualities, we can effectively shape our professional image and stand out among the possibilities. It’s the intentional and strategic practice of defining and promoting one’s values as an individual and someone with whom one could potentially do business. The process involves defining one’s values, goals, and purpose while showcasing one’s qualities to the public and proving why they might want to do business with us. It’s a powerful tool that empowers us to shape our professional image and stand out among the possibilities; it’s our job to make the most of it.
The keys are authenticity, tenacity, executing your plan through action habits, consistency, and being “ever-present.”
Historical orders, customs, practices, traditions, rules, and habits were all considered reliable until now. They have all changed. My expectation of how to do business has been permanently disrupted…

Everything has been redefined, including time, space, rules, interactions with others, delivery, operational methods, and social media platforms, to reflect the immediacy and speed of communications. I call the process’ light speed differential communication’ because it signifies the rapid and varied communication sound bites available today. This term emphasizes the fast-paced nature of modern communication, where parties may not always have the time to form lasting bonds.
The shift from the familiar order of things we’ve practiced over a long history into unfamiliar territories is necessitating new learning techniques and strategies such as automating everything, AI-driven marketing, personalized customer communication (e.g., webinars, Zoom meetings, customized personal emails), speed text messaging, and data-driven decision-making (e.g., predictive analytics, customer segmentation).
Due to the dynamic changes, individuals have never had a better time to invest or reinvent themselves to understand modern methods and strategies. The problem, however, is that tens of thousands of people are doing the same thing, competing for the time, space, and attention.
Developing long-term, lasting relationships has become lost in the shuffle. We cannot sit around, create a website, make periodic posts, and wait for texts, email responses, or the phone to ring.
Adapting to these new techniques is not just a choice but a necessity in the rapidly evolving marketing landscape. The sooner we embrace these changes, the better equipped we will be to navigate the future of marketing, feeling motivated and driven.
Historic Shift:
Customs, practices, and order of priorities have dramatically shifted to a radically new paradigm. Building relationships, thereby creating social capital, has also undergone a shift. In this new era, friends do business with friends, and reliable relationships have been replaced with ‘light-speed differential communications,’ a term we use to describe the rapid and varied communication sound bites available today. Adapting to these new methods is crucial to staying competitive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_capital
The prevailing approach of solely relying on social media for business or sales outreach will diminish over time. Lightning-speed, attention-grabbing messages or sensational content aimed at unknown prospects (leads) will likely lose effectiveness over time.
Expanding business opportunities and fostering new relationships are crucial for personal growth and business success. These elements are the foundation for achieving higher goals and driving business growth. There will likely be a resurgence and re-emphasis on building strong relationships as the key strategy for sustainable success. This shift will make us, the business participants, feel valued and integral to the process.
Most people have changed their reading habits. They watch and listen to podcasts focused on digital audio and video content available for downloading or streaming. They don’t seem to answer their phones as they used to, and they don’t always respond to emails for marketing purposes or precisely targeted communication about a specific subject, such as a transaction. But one thing is sure: everywhere they go, they look down at their phones so attentively that they miss everything around them.
The most effective marketing tool today is texting prospects, which is short and to the point, necessitating the collection of phone numbers rather than email addresses. However, the process must be done individually, with some personalization rather than a mass text software package. Virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa are easy ways to make calls, send texts, and use applications with our voice. They can draft and send personalized messages and reminders, making them time-saving, valuable tools in this approach. These virtual assistants, with constant upgrades of artificial intelligence (AI), make them indispensable.
We may first call and leave a message; when the prospect does not answer, we can follow up with an email or text message. For instance, if you’re a financial advisor, you could send a message like, ‘I am checking to see if you need any advice on your retirement planning or investment strategies.’ This personalized approach demonstrates that you understand their needs and are prepared to provide a solution.
These technological disruptions necessitate our adaptation to stay competitive in the market. It’s crucial to stay ahead of the curve in our field, and quick learning and adaptation techniques will make us feel prepared and proactive in the face of these changes.
Here are a few terms that we must become comfortable with:
These are essential tools for businesses that streamline marketing processes, enhance engagement, and improve performance. There are dozens to search out and install for overall improvements in our marketing efforts.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Automatic Language (AL)
Automatic Language (AL) is an advanced technology that analyzes text inputs, recognizes patterns, and classifies text into natural language processing algorithms.
In marketing, AI is advancing the human interface and communication with machines and computer systems, enabling more efficient and personalized customer communication.
This technology is revolutionizing how we interact with customers and is a key trend in marketing.
Eventually, AL will drive most of our marketing activities. Analytics and algorithms will drive everything from search engines to service searches, identifying our unique abilities based on our participation in the tech system.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
This is the art and science of getting pages to rank higher in search engines such as Google
Ranking higher leads to increased traffic to your website.
There are free SEO tools to help plan and execute your strategy.
Tools include Google Keyword Planner, Ahrefs, and SEMRush, which have features to find keywords, audit your site, and generate backlinks.
The content below was taken from the Digital Marketing Institute.
Search engines are the trusted tools people turn to when they have a query and search online for the answer. They play a crucial role in providing the exact results that searchers seek, ensuring the process is reliable and accurate, which should assure you of the effectiveness of your SEO efforts.
Search engine algorithms are complex computer programs that analyze various factors to provide searchers with the most relevant results. These algorithms form the backbone of search engines, enabling them to find and rank web pages for any given keyword. The complexity of these algorithms underscores the need for professional guidance in navigating the world of search engine optimization (SEO).
There are three steps to how search engines work: crawling, indexing, and ranking.
Search Engine Crawling, Spiders
The first step is crawling. Search engines send messages to find new web crawlers’ pages and record their information. We sometimes refer to these web crawlers as ‘spiders,’ ‘robots,’ or ‘Google bots.’
Their purpose is to discover new web pages and periodically check the content on previously visited pages to see if it has changed or been updated.

Natural Language Processing (NLP):
Bots, short for robots, are computer programs designed to perform automated tasks without specific human instructions. These tasks include crawling webpages, engaging in conversations with users, and automating repetitive tasks that humans would otherwise perform. Bots can be programmed to imitate human behavior and can also be used to perform malicious activities, such as malware.
These are the chatbots featuring beautiful women who want to connect with you and eventually have you send them money, with the expectation of a personal visit.
There are various types of bots, including spider bots, scraper bots, spam bots, social media bots, download bots, and ticketing bots. Some are good, and some are bad.
Change is Dynamic:
New and current methods of developing and sustaining relationships are not about shaking hands with 500 or 1,000 people, maintaining communication with them, becoming friends, and doing business as usual. Instead, they are somewhat data-driven, magnifying or leveraging performance through algorithmic data management.
Reading is a powerful tool that can counteract ill-informed opinions. But, as Mark Twain aptly said, “If you don’t read the newspaper, you are uninformed; if you read the newspaper, you are ill-informed.” This highlights the importance of seeking out reliable sources of information to remain empowered and knowledgeable in the face of change. Truth in the news is generally only found through alternative media.
Many of our activities are so fast-paced that we cannot keep up, and therefore, we have limited time for relationship-building. Much of our work function is now modified to rely on technology, replacing face-to-face and telephone correspondence.
The accelerating speed of change is upon us, and we have said goodbye to the old methods for good. At best, we can capture the attention of prospects for a few microseconds or a minute to gauge their interest in our services, which is a challenging task but doable. We can embrace and adopt change willingly or be left in the dust of history alongside the Rolodex client file system and the business lunch. For those who do not remember the Rolodex, it was a desktop card index system featuring a round, rotating spindle with removable cards attached to it. The salesperson would record client information, indexed from A to Z.
Future companies may have only five employees, but they operate like a 50-person company 20-30 years ago. How we operate with today’s advanced technology can give the illusion of a much larger company.
There is a shift to a free-agent nation, where independence is paramount, and mobility is essential to success.
Herein lies the need for an executive administrative assistant, independent contractor staffing, and high-tech independent contractors locally or from around the world (somewhere) who can work magic in the tech-driven marketing and follow-up process.
The 80/20 Rule Will Not Change:
Twenty percent of a salesperson’s or an organization’s activities contribute to only 80% of the results. Conversely, 80% of our activities account for 20% of our results. This powerful insight can be applied to various aspects of our lives. For instance, in personal productivity, you can identify and focus on 20% of tasks that yield 80% of your results. In sales and business management, you can identify the 20% of customers that generate 80% of your revenue. The new tools available can ignite our motivation and drive for success, inspiring us to maximize our efforts and achieve more.

By Mallory Lynn, Marketing and Social Media Manager, Signarama Brighton
Healthcare facilities can be complex places. From sprawling hospitals to busy clinics, clear and intuitive signs are crucial for patients, visitors, and staff to navigate with ease. But effective healthcare signage is more than just pointing people in the right direction. It’s about designing a space that is inclusive and easy to use for everyone.
article continues after advertisement
Take a look at these six key considerations for designing and choosing signs in the healthcare industry:
Accessibility is Paramount
Accessibility is crucial in healthcare signage. All signs must adhere to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards, incorporating braille, tactile characters, and accessible font sizes. Visual clarity is essential, achieved through high-contrast colors and simple, easy-to-read fonts, avoiding decorative or overly stylized designs. Think about your audience as well, providing signage in multiple languages as needed. Consulting an expert in ADA signage is key as they will know all the rules and regulations around this type of sign and can design concepts that meet these requirements but also fit into the branding experience.
Clarity and Consistency are Essential
Clear, consistent healthcare signs are vital for wayfinding. Simple, jargon-free messaging and a unified design layout—using consistent fonts, colors, and symbols across all signs, from the parking lot to the patient room—ensure easy navigation. Strategic placement is key for visibility and accessibility.
Developing a comprehensive wayfinding system can be complex so partnering with an experienced sign company that specializes in wayfinding packages, including (but not limited to) monuments, building signs, traffic and street signs, interior and exterior blade signs, directories, and suite signs, ensure brand consistency and a cohesive system. When working with a sign partner they will help you determine the optimal number and types of signs needed for clear communication throughout your facility.
Why is effective directional and wayfinding signage so important in healthcare?
Reducing stress and anxiety: Clear wayfinding helps patients and visitors feel more comfortable and in control.
Improving efficiency: Easy navigation allows staff to focus on patient care, not giving directions.
Enhancing safety: Properly placed directions guide people safely through the facility, especially during emergencies.
Creating a positive first impression: Well-designed directions reflect professionalism and care.
Boosting patient satisfaction: A smooth and stress-free experience contributes to overall satisfaction.

Create a Welcoming Environment
Creating a welcoming environment sets the tone in healthcare facilities. Signs play a key role in reinforcing brand identity and creating a sense of belonging. This can be achieved through various means, including exterior building signs to establish a strong presence, large-scale wall graphics that add visual interest and branding in lobbies, and dimensional lettering and logos that provide a professional touch.
Positive messaging like the facility’s mission statement can promote well-being and community within. Calming colors should be chosen to create a reassuring atmosphere, avoiding bright or jarring hues except in designated children’s areas. The incorporation of art and graphics enhances the visual appeal and creates a more welcoming atmosphere as well. Privacy glass, whether frosted or patterned, is a great consideration as well that offers a sense of privacy in sensitive areas while maintaining a bright and open feel.
Integrate Technology
Using the latest and greatest in technology offers valuable opportunities to enhance wayfinding and communication in healthcare settings. Digital signage should be considered for wayfinding, announcements, and patient information in Electronic Message Centers (EMCs) or digital displays, as it allows for easy updates and real-time information dissemination. Furthermore, exploring ways to integrate signage with mobile technology, such as QR codes or wayfinding apps, can provide additional convenience and accessibility to enhance the patient’s experience.
Materials Matter
Material selection is a critical aspect. Durability is fundamental, as healthcare facilities experience high traffic and require signs that can withstand wear and tear. For example, instead of easily scratched acrylic, wayfinding signs might be made from durable, cleanable materials like aluminum composite material (ACM) or high-pressure laminate (HPL). Ease of maintenance and repair is, also, required. Choosing materials that are simple to clean, like non-porous surfaces for room name signs, and easy to repair or replace, such as modular sign systems, will contribute to the longevity and cost-effectiveness of the sign system.
Create a positive experience with each sign!
Specific types of signs contribute to the functionality of wayfinding and communication within the facility. Durable floor graphics can guide patients to specific departments, particularly helpful in large facilities. In pediatric areas, using vibrant colors, playful fonts, and child-friendly imagery creates a less intimidating environment. Illuminated signs, such as channel letters, offer excellent visibility at night, while light boxes are versatile for both interior and exterior use, displaying directional information, room names, or other important messages.
Successful healthcare signs are a key part of creating a positive experience for everyone in a medical or dental facility. By considering these important factors and working with an established sign partner, healthcare providers can ensure that their sign system is not only impactful but also contributes to an inviting, reassuring, and accessible environment.

Construction of a new 128,000 square foot Target store to begin soon.
Firestone, CO (June 2025) – In November of 2024, the Town of Firestone announced that it had entered into a Development Agreement with the Firestone Urban Renewal Authority and Target Corporation (Target). Based on the terms of the agreement, Target purchased an 11-acre site located at the southwest corner of Jake Jabs Blvd and City Centre Rd, directly west of Home Depot within the Firestone City Centre development (a property overseen by The Staenberg Group). In April, Target Corporation officially closed on the property, allowing the project to continue progressing, and in May, we began to see dirt work on the site.
The store, which is anticipated to be 128,000 square feet, will sell a mix of general merchandise and grocery items and have dedicated spaces for online shoppers to pick up their purchases conveniently. The Town of Firestone anticipates construction beginning in 2025 and the store opening in 2026.
This development is anticipated to create a substantial economic benefit for Firestone by significantly increasing sales, use, property taxes, and other revenues for the Town. In addition, it will increase local employment opportunities and provide a much-needed and desired opportunity for community members to shop closer to home. In addition, since the announcement of the agreement, the Town of Firestone has seen an increased interest in other retail and restaurant projects in the area.
The development agreement was made possible by a culmination of efforts by Town Staff, The Staenberg Group, and Target. The Town of Firestone and Target began conversations about this project in 2022 at the national ICSC conference in Las Vegas.
“This is a great example of the kind of strategic investment our Board of Trustees believes is critical to our long-term success,” said Town Manager A.J. Krieger. “It’s really been a privilege to work in such a cooperative way with Target. Attracting quality retailers like Target is a critical component of our plans to grow in a value-added way and creates additional opportunities. Target has been a great partner, and we’re excited for them to be a part of our community.”
Construction is anticipated to begin in June 2025. The general contractor is Roche Constructors, Incand the architect is RSP Architects, Ltd.
