Welcome to Lucero Development Services

Taking Commercial Real Estate Projects From Ideas To Reality.

Our understanding of the balance between the private and public sector in real estate development shapes our mission and positions us to best navigate modern development complexities.

Lucero Development Services is led by John Lucero who served as the Deputy Director of Denver’s Office Economic Development under three mayors, having led the City through recovery during the most recent economic recession. He has several hotel and residential mixed-use developments under his belt coupled with over 25 years of real estate brokerage. Buoyed by this experience, we deliver through our passion for solving the most complex challenges in community development.

Client Testimonials

"I have had the pleasure of working hand-in-hand with John Lucero coalescing, envisioning, and master planning development potential for a variety of projects within the urban development potential for a variety of projects within the urban landscape of Denver and along the Front Range of Colorado. The priorities inherent within each concept investigated with John leading the team have always been, first and foremost, the benefit of the community, sustainability, and openness."

- Ted Schultz, AIA, LEED, AP

Regional Office Manager, CTA Architects Engineers

"I have found John's insight helpful when evaluating a property for development or acquisition. He has on more than one occasion prevented me from entering into a business venture which may have had issues. He has been a strategic partner of mine on several other transactions and I have referred business associates to him. John's involvement in many aspects of political, governmental, and non-profit agencies has also brought a unique perspective to the table."

- James L. Hesterly, JR

Manager, JLH Construction

"John has dutifully served the Office of Economic Development at Denver, helping improve the health and vitality of the city in many ways. Among his accomplishments, he led a series of improvements to the city's small business lending portfolio, resulting in the lowering of the city's default/delinquency rate from nearly 2-% to 3%."
