Our History
John Fuller and his small team take a risk and launch a new kind of real estate firm. When the doors open at Fuller and Company, it becomes the only company in Colorado with a focus on commercial, industry and investment properties in Denver, CO. The company’s first offices are located in the historic Railway Exchange Building at 17th and Champa.
Fuller introduces our familiar black and white logo design. Simple and iconic, it will change over the next 60+ years, but always keep it's recognizable charm.
1960
As president of the Denver Board of Realtors, John Fuller helps bring to life the first MLS (Multiple Listing Service) and CLS (Commercial Listing Service) in Denver. Prior to this, most agents relied on ‘pocket listings.’ Fuller and his team realize that sellers deserve to have their properties exposed to the entire market. Thus, the creation of the MLS and CLS.
Fuller works with George Wallace to assemble land deals that launch the Denver Tech Center and Centennial Airport (originally Arapahoe Airport). Fuller also joins with other firms to put together the land for what will become Denver International Airport.
Jim Nelson of Central Bank and Trust offers Fuller and Company space in the brand new building at Park Central, saying “if you’ll move in, we’ll give you the leasing and the management, and you’ll be on the board of directors.” Fuller moves into the penthouse at Park Central, which becomes the company’s new headquarters.
John Fuller is a founding member of the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce and serves as its chairman. Governor Love asks the members of the Chamber to act as ‘Colorado Ambassadors.’ In that capacity, John Fuller travels around the U.S. to cities including Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York to meet with heads of industry and share the incredible potential of Denver.
1973-1980
Ken Egan (who is still a broker at Fuller) makes the front page of the Denver Post when he arranges an assemblage deal for vacant land at 120th and Huron. That space will eventually become the Western Electric Plant and a major economic boon to Denver’s rapid growth.
