About the Sale
Own a piece of Longmont history when you shop the estate of Ken Pratt after whom Ken Pratt Boulevard is named. To understand Mr. Pratt’s contributions to the community, we have to go back a ...view morefew decades, so our story starts in 1912.
In 1912, M.E. Pratt opened The Pratt Agency, a residential real estate development firm. The Pratt family began brokering real estate and operating coal and fuel businesses in the Longmont area. M.E. Pratt passed the business on to his son Harold, who passed it on to his son Kenneth (Ken), but not before creating Northern Colorado’s largest independent real estate agency.
After Harold’s death, Ken Pratt sought new growth opportunities for his family’s residential and commercial real estate business. From Fox Hill to Longmont Estates, Ken oversaw the development of nearly 2,000 homes in Longmont. On the commercial side of the business, The Pratt Agency developed or built almost 2 million square feet of commercial property, including the former Plaza Event Center.
Ken Pratt was truly a businessman who focused on Longmont’s economic development. He was one of the founders of the formerly named Longmont Area Economic Council, and he helped bring Japanese business to Boulder County. Pratt even traveled with Colorado Governor Roy Romer (1986-1990) to Japan to encourage development in Longmont, and the emperor and empress of Japan visited Longmont in 1994, staying with Pratt and his wife, Susan.
