Greeley Sachs started I-Beam | Colorado in 2012 to manage commercial and residential construction projects. After working on projects such as a fire station (building codes wouldn’t allow a fire pole), a fitness center, custom homes and condos, and office projects (some in historic buildings and others in really boring office buildings), she decided to buy a building and become her own client. Since then, Greeley has grown her real estate portfolio with an eye toward redevelopment and revitalization in Longmont. I-Beam | Colorado won the 2026 Downtown Colorado, Inc. Excellence Award for redevelopment partnership in a large city.

When Greeley isn’t ruining yet another pair of shoes on a construction site, she, her husband, and three kids run a small farm in Boulder County, where they have a heritage apple orchard and some adorable but impractical farm animals. Greeley served as Chair of the Board of Trustees for the Colorado Chapter of The Nature Conservancy from 2024-2026, and owns Composition Book Store in Longmont.

This little building has taken forever and a day. I originally expected this to be complete in early 2024, but contractor and permit delays have added over a year and a small fortune to the timeline. But now it's in the home stretch! We ran a water
