BGK Properties Gets New Owners
Posted on 10 May 2010 | No responses
BGK Properties, one of Santa Fe’s hidden powerhouses, got new owners last week, according to a story in the New Mexican. It’s one of the largest commercial real estate companies in the US, and a strong Santa Fe employer, with 52 people here, and more in Albuquerque. Looks like they’re going to stay here, which is great!
Interesting side note – one reason the new owners gave for staying in Santa Fe was the new American Airlines daily flights from Dallas (DFW) to Santa Fe Airport. Good to hear that it’s not only tourists but businesspeople that feel this was a worthwhile addition to the attractions of Santa Fe.

Another great Santa Fe story, this time from the Coloradoan.
"The desert at sunrise and sunset is all dressed up in vibrant colors and makes you want to celebrate the day. The blue tortilla enchiladas from one of my favorite restaurants, The Shed, make my mouth water thinking about the unique combination of spices and cheeses. The art galleries on Canyon Row are filled with the most diverse and awe-inspiring pieces of art. I wonder in an out of the different galleries and gawk at the sculptures, water colors, oils and glass and shake my head in utter amazement.….Over the years, my daughters, sister, niece and mom have made summer treks to Santa Fe. This multi-generational girl trip has spun vivid memories for each of us. We have made this journey in the summer to take advantage of the Indian Market and famous Santa Fe Opera, but Santa Fe can be enjoyed any time of the year…."

“…Wake up early and take a walk……Look at the looming baroque exterior of St. Francis Cathedral and then stroll over to see the massive adobe walls of the San Miguel Mission and the vintage 1612 “Oldest House” to get a feel of the mix of the colonial and indigenous cultures, standing together in peace (so long as no people are around).
Walk the streets to marvel at modernist statues by contemporary artists, and then walk to the renovated Railyard complex for more. Breathe in the crisp air, enjoy the warmth of the sun as it illuminates the pastel landscape of the city. As Lawrence remembered it, “in the magnificent fierce morning of New Mexico one sprang awake, a new part of the soul woke up suddenly, and the old world gave way to a new.”
