Downtown Denver Urban Renewal Project Steams Ahead

One aspect of a booming economy which many people never stop to consider is that a city in the midst of economic growth is in a constant state of development. In fact because we live in a city that's constantly growing it will eventually need some form of renewal to ensure that the core of the city is maintained while the larger city of Denver spreads ever outwards.
In light of this growth, and the need for urban renewal, Mayor Hancock has identified six projects which he feels will benefit downtown Denver and the city as a whole, which need to be completed as a matter of urgency. The projects themselves include a public school for downtown, construction work and enhancements of the 16th Street Mall, a new park for downtown Denver, additional grocery and…

Frack Alert Up in Denver
Monday, February 11th, 2013 at 7:01pm. 184 Views, 0 Comments.
"Don't Frack Denver's Water," a coalition of citizens and conservationists, has been organized to muster broad community support for the creation of a Master Leasing Plan (MLP) for the Colorado South Park Basin, which the federal government wants to lease to companies engaged in exploration of gas and oil deposits. The advocates of this movement fear that drilling and fracking within the basin located in Park County will eventually contaminate with potentially cancer-causing chemicals the nearby rivers and reservoirs supplying water to many local communities, including the Denver metro area.
The MLP’s establishment would require the formation of a stakeholders group to address the issues and concerns on the leasing plan. Furthermore, this group would seek…

Nichols Partnership Inc. has purchased from Los Angeles-based Karlin Real Estate the former Daily Camera building at 11th and Pearl Street in downtown Boulder, Colorado, for a fee believed to be around the $13.5 million mark.
Karlin bought the property in 2010 in a $9-million deal. It worked on plans during the last two years to build almost 160,000 square feet of office and retail spaces, restaurants, and movie theaters in three- to four-floor buildings at the site. It was just months ago that Karlin received approval from city hall to redevelop the property.
Randy Nichols, president of Nichols Partnership, described the property as an irreplaceable asset that is hard to come by in downtown Boulder. The full block that it occupies on Pearl Street is…
Colorado Offers $13 Million Tax Credits
Tuesday, February 5th, 2013 at 8:57am. 222 Views, 0 Comments.
The Colorado Economic Development Commission has approved $13.1 million in state tax credits for three companies as an incentive for them to bring in 1,533 new jobs to the state. Certain conditions are attached to the tax credits, and the amount of incentives received may be reduced if the companies fail to deliver all of the employment expected. Another possibility is that other states may offer better incentives, thus Colorado would risk missing out on significantly boosting its employment level.
One of the companies is Redwood Trust Inc., a California real estate investment trust specializing in commercial and residential mortgages. This company is exploring the possibility of moving its operations to Douglas County, Colorado, and in the process…

One of the most curious real estate transactions of the year is reported to be on the verge of completion in the city of Aurora, according to local media reports. The deal will see the sale of a run-down, 10 acre, mixed use property valued at just $77,000 changing hands for a whopping $2.75 million!
Unused for 28 years, the 10-acre property site was once a thriving shopping establishment in the center of Aurora.
For years, city officials and neighbors have debated about what to do with the property, yet repeated discussions consistently came to nothing. Now however, it’s being reported that a deal has all but been agreed, and a contract to buy the land is scheduled to be finalized by the Aurora Urban Renewal Authority.
According to the contract agreed…
