In 1966, Marshall Bennett and Louis Kahnweiler, founders of Chicago-based real estate leader Bennett & Kahnweiler, established a Colorado operation with Chuck Babb as its president. In the latter part of the decade, the firm planned and began development of the Montbello Industrial Park.

Construction of the Montbello Industrial Park continued into the early seventies.  The Park featured the new Samsonite headquarters camps.  At the time, the Park was billed as “Tomorrow’s Industrial Park…Today”, and it still remains an integral part of the community.  During the course of the decade, Bennett & Kahnweiler developed more than 71 buildings with square footage in excess of four million square feet.
