Broe Greater than the sum ® About Investments Real Estate Infrastructure Transport Energy Newsroom Contact Investments / An economy in flux always means value creation for those on the lookout. Some see these as turbulent times. We see opportunity. That’s where too many others stop—but that’s exactly where Broe starts. That’s where we can supply what’s missing: strategy, capital, management, motion. Together, we can create value while others hesitate. Let’s talk > Capitalizing on Market Trends Broe is an actively managed, family-owned business and industrial enterprise with four primary business platforms and a keen focus on growth through acquisitions and investment.

Case Studies STEWARDSHIP close 2005: Great Western Ranch Value from Stewardship 457 square miles of New Mexican expanse seen as over-grazed flyover land. Pat Broe saw what was missing for the park-like rangelands, what kept them from becoming one of the country’s most valuable properties. Preserve the overall ecology by restoring pastures and wildlife refuges. Develop a best-in-class water system to support four-season grazing, irrigated farming, and improved native grasses. Tailor the cattle breed to the specific New Mexico climate. Establish a resident herd of 1500 prized trophy elk, and the hunting operations to manage the herd at its optimal count. Broe sold the new American showcase for almost three times its purchase price. MILES OF OPPORTUNITY 1986: The Great Western Railway Seeing What Others Missed In 1986, when Pat Broe bought the scattered remains of the Great Western Sugar Company from bankruptcy, one asset especially caught his eye: a small railway that had hauled sugar beets for 85 years. That Great Western Railway of Colorado still turned a small profit, moving 500 rail cars annually. But Broe saw something more, something others had missed. He saw eighty miles of opportunity. Aggressive business development along a prime industrial corridor. Public and private partnerships enabling new business models. A lower cost, more skilled, and more flexible workforce. In 2014 that throwaway short-line spur ran 50,000 rail cars as the backbone of the Great Western Industrial Park.
