2501 Welton Street | Padel Haus

A former industrial warehouse in Denver’s Five Points neighborhood has been transformed into a 24,000-square-foot padel club, bringing one of the world’s fastest-growing racquet sports to the heart of the city.

Padel Haus, a New York-based operator, has officially opened its first location west of the Mississippi River, investing millions of dollars to convert a former Deep Rock Water storage facility into a modern sports and social destination.

The club features five indoor padel courts, a mezzanine lounge overlooking the action, coworking areas, private phone booths, a gym, luxury locker rooms and Juice Haus, an in-house cafe serving coffee, sandwiches and light bites.

Located directly across from the 25th-Welton light rail station, the facility retains much of its original industrial exterior while introducing an entirely new experience inside.

For those unfamiliar with padel, the sport combines elements of tennis and squash, played on an enclosed court where balls can rebound off glass walls. Already popular throughout Europe and South America, the sport is gaining momentum in the United States.

And you don’t need a membership or any experience to play. Padel Haus offers introductory classes, court reservations, clinics and open play, with equipment available for newcomers.

We recently toured the facility and spoke with Club Director Jake Ledger about the transformation, the growing popularity of padel and the company’s vision for building a community in Denver.

800 Ford Street, Golden, Colorado

A major milestone has been reached in downtown Golden as AC Development celebrates the completion of The Pottery, the first major phase of the 14-acre Clayworks redevelopment.

The 188,600-square-foot office building is now home to the global headquarters of CoorsTek, bringing the company’s corporate operations back to the site where its ceramics manufacturing history began in 1910.

Led by the Coors family’s AC Development, Clayworks is transforming six blocks of the former CoorsTek industrial campus into a mixed-use district featuring offices, residential units, restaurants, retail, public gathering spaces and a boutique hotel.

We recently toured The Pottery, where more than a century of industrial history has been incorporated into a modern workplace. Historic brick facades and preserved industrial elements are complemented by ceramic tile finishes, reclaimed Colorado furnishings and illuminated artwork featuring materials from the site’s manufacturing past.

The building also features a modern fitness center, extensive bicycle parking and shared conference facilities. Sweet Bloom Coffee Roasters is preparing to open its first Clayworks location on the ground floor later this year.

Below the surface, approximately 42 geothermal wells extending roughly 500 feet underground will support a district-wide system expected to meet 80% of the campus’s heating and cooling demand.

CoorsTek and AC Development have already moved into the building, with additional office and retail space available for lease.

And this is only the beginning.

Future phases will introduce housing, new commercial spaces, pedestrian promenades, public plazas and a boutique hotel planned within the historic Golden High School building.

After more than a century as an industrial manufacturing campus, this prominent piece of downtown Golden is entering an entirely new chapter while keeping its history at the center of the transformation.

1675 Broadway | HUMN

A new 32,000-square-foot health and wellness club is coming to downtown Denver, bringing fitness, coworking and recovery services together under one roof.

HUMN, founded by Denver entrepreneur Omar Romero, is preparing to transform the first three floors of the Energy Center into a premium health club, with an opening targeted for summer 2027.

We recently toured the future space with Romero, who walked us through the plans and shared his vision for a destination where members can work, train, recover and connect without leaving the building.

The first floor will feature coworking lounges, private meeting rooms and flexible workspaces. The second floor will house a full-scale gym with cardio equipment, free weights, a 50-meter turf lane and dedicated group fitness areas.

Upstairs, the third floor will focus on recovery and longevity, with cold plunges, saunas, red light therapy, hyperbaric chambers and suites for independent health practitioners.

Memberships are expected to start at $299 per month, with a $199 founding rate for the first 100 members.

Designed by Beck Architecture, the project is part of a much larger transformation underway at the Energy Center. The Luzzatto Company is pursuing a $145 million redevelopment that includes converting the neighboring 1625 Broadway tower into 386 apartments.

For a downtown office market searching for new uses and renewed activity, HUMN represents a substantial investment in bringing people back to the urban core.

225 E Bayaud | Chloé

For over a century, worshippers at 225 E. Bayaud looked up at ornate plaster ceilings nearly 30 feet overhead. Now, residents get to live up there.

Meet Chloé, the 1910 Classical Revival Second Church of Christ, Scientist in Speer, reborn as 22 boutique luxury residences after a five-year adaptive reuse led by developers Yiannis Bellis and preservation specialist Travis McAfoos.

The original building is attributed to Chicago architect Solon Spencer Beman, who helped define the look of Christian Science churches across the country.

More than a century later, Boulder-based RHAP Architecture + Planning designed its conversion into Chloé. In between, it served as the Baha’i Center of Metro Denver.

While other buyers eyed the site for demolition, this team chose to save it. They signed a 10-year non-demolition agreement with Historic Denver and built the new upper floor as a self-supporting system to protect the original ceiling.

Nearly everything original was put back to work. Pipes from the 1916 Hook & Hastings organ now glow as lighting.

Pew ends became kitchen island bases, and pews became stair treads. The old vault door stands as an artifact in the hall, and the landscape features stones reclaimed from Larimer Square.

Inside, you’ll find 17 different kitchen layouts, Taj Mahal stone counters, steam showers, and smart home controls, plus two three-story penthouses with lofts and big terraces. One home has 12 skylights. Fully electric, fully modernized, and exactly like nothing else in Denver.

One and two bedroom residences are leasing now, just blocks from Broadway, Baker, Wash Park, and downtown.

BROKER OPEN HOUSE
Friday, Oct 30 | 11 AM to 1 PM
225 E. Bayaud Ave

The best way to understand Chloé is to walk it. See you Friday.

2850 Youngfield Street | Lakewood, CO

A former federal office building along I-70 is getting a second life. Newmark broker Whitney Hake and her husband, Nate, acquired the vacant former Bureau of Land Management (BLM) office building for $2.3 million, approximately $35 per square foot, with plans to transform the property into a modern office destination called dapple*wood.

Built in 1982, the four-story building contains approximately 74,000 square feet and was occupied by the BLM until 2023. Following the agency’s departure and financial trouble involving the property, the new owners acquired the building at a significant discount, creating room for an extensive renovation.

Plans include eight move-in-ready spec suites across the second and third floors, a redesigned lobby, tenant lounge, podcast studio, wellness room, secure bike storage, and an indoor sports court. The existing glass atrium will be transformed into a living herb garden, while outdoor gathering areas and a Mah Jong lounge will add to the tenant experience.

The property also offers mountain views, approximately 16,000-square-foot floorplates, and direct access to the I-70 corridor.

The investment comes as the west Denver office market continues to outperform much of the metro area. West Denver recorded 11.5% office vacancy in Q2 2026, compared with approximately 31% metro-wide.

Just up Youngfield Street, the 110-acre Clear Creek Crossing development has added hundreds of apartments, hotels, restaurants, and a Life Time athletic club, further changing the surrounding area.

Leasing is underway at $24 per square foot NNN, with initial tenant move-ins targeted for March 2027.

Denver is searching for two of its most consequential transportation executives, with combined annual base salaries potentially exceeding $850,000.

Denver International Airport (DEN) and the Regional Transportation District (RTD) are both recruiting new CEOs, placing two of the region’s largest transportation systems under new leadership.

RTD | $411,000–$509,000

RTD is offering a base salary between $411,000 and $509,000, with estimated total compensation reaching $622,000 annually, including benefits.

The next CEO will oversee bus and rail operations across 2,349 square miles, serving 40 municipalities and approximately 3.1 million residents.

The position requires 10 years of management experience, including five years in executive leadership. Notably, direct transit experience is not required, a decision that has divided the elected board.

Current CEO Debra Johnson will depart in May 2027 after declining a contract extension. Her successor will inherit significant financial challenges, including a projected $200 million budget gap, aging infrastructure and pressure to improve ridership.

Applications close November 20, with the board targeting a selection by December 18.

DEN | $346,975

Denver International Airport is offering $346,975 for its next CEO, an at-will position appointed by Mayor Mike Johnston.

DEN handled a record 82.4 million passengers in 2025, ranking fourth nationally and tenth globally. Its 53-square-mile campus supports more than 43,000 badged workers, 25 airlines and 236 nonstop destinations.

Former CEO Phil Washington retired August 1 after five years, with COO Dave LaPorte serving as interim CEO.

Korn Ferry is managing recruitment, with the mayor aiming to name a successor by year-end.

One CEO will lead a regional transit system facing major financial and operational pressures. The other will oversee one of the world’s busiest airports, generating more than $47 billion annually in economic impact for Colorado.

Both appointments will shape Denver’s transportation future.

Which position presents the greater challenge?

1526 Blake Street | Terruño Ancestral Spirits

Terruño Ancestral Spirits is now open at 1526 Blake Street in LoDo, inside one of Lower Downtown’s oldest commercial buildings.

Owners Fabiola Castillo, Bere Vallarino and Miguel Salgado also run a Denver distribution business that imports tequila, mezcal, raicilla and sotol from small and mid-sized producers across Mexico. The back bar carries hundreds of bottles, mostly sourced from farmers, and new tequilas are added every Wednesday. There are no traditional servers: “guides” walk guests through pairings and the history behind each pour.

The kitchen serves regional Mexican food that goes well beyond Tex-Mex. A grab-and-go café opens at 7 a.m. with coffee and Mexican pastries, and the bar and restaurant run from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

The building dates to 1863, when it opened as the Charles Eyser Boarding House & Saloon. The basement holds an 1880s steel vault, Prohibition-era tunnels and the original 1890 freight elevator hoist, which stayed in service until 1974. The Blake Street Vault, Fuel & Iron and Honor Farm all operated here before Terruño signed a 10-year lease in May.

820 16th Street, Denver, CO

From a $24.5 million acquisition to a $2.7 million sale. One of downtown Denver’s historic office buildings has a new owner, a new strategy, and a $5 million request for public funding.

Malman Real Estate, led by 33-year-old Jake Malman, has acquired the eight-story, 98,577-square-foot Symes Building at 16th and Champa for approximately $27 per square foot. The 1906 property last traded for $24.5 million in 2018 before falling into foreclosure earlier this year.

The sale, brokered by Kenai Capital Advisors, closed in under 30 days.

The building was previously slated for conversion into 116 apartments, with the Downtown Denver Development Authority (DDDA) selecting the project for a $17 million loan in 2025. However, financing and permitting challenges prevented the project from moving forward, and the funding was never disbursed.

Now, Malman is taking a different approach.

Rather than converting the building to residential, ownership plans to reposition it as affordable office space under the name The George, with asking rents starting at just $5 per square foot NNN.

The proposed $7.7 million renovation includes a dedicated fitness floor, upgraded elevators, renovated common areas, tenant improvements, and refreshed ground-floor retail.

To help finance the improvements, Malman has submitted a $5 million request to the DDDA, less than one-third of the funding previously allocated to the residential conversion. A decision remains pending.

Construction is anticipated between January and July 2027, with ownership projecting 90% occupancy by year-end.

With 16th Street’s $177.4 million reconstruction complete, the transaction raises an interesting question about downtown Denver’s recovery:

Does the future of downtown’s aging office inventory require residential conversions, or can dramatically lower rents and strategic reinvestment make office space competitive again?

1201 E Colfax Avenue, Denver, CO

A historic Colfax Avenue building has reached full ground-floor retail occupancy, bringing new life to a property with more than 120 years of history and one of Denver’s more colorful pasts.

Built in 1905 at the corner of Colfax and Marion, the three-story Bourbon Square building is now home to four retail tenants, including several businesses that have opened within the past two years.

The latest addition is Sadboy Creamery, Michael Kimball’s cult-favorite ice cream brand, which has built a following through online pint drops that regularly sell out in minutes. Its first brick-and-mortar location will feature a dedicated pint shop with a window into production.

Other tenants include:

Uptown Banh Mi & Grill: Opened in February 2025, serving banh mi, tacos and grilled plates.

Good Bones Coffee: Opened in November 2025, combining specialty coffee, pastries, vintage clothing, consignment guitars and live music.

BARna: Opened in June 2026 by Punch Bowl Social founder Robert Thompson, bringing a 10,000-square-foot soccer and sports bar with Spanish tapas, karaoke, darts and shuffleboard.

But the building’s history is just as interesting as its newest tenants.

From 1948 to 1983, the property housed Sid King’s Crazy Horse Bar, one of Denver’s most famous burlesque clubs. Known as the “Sultan of Striptease,” King entertained everyone from Elvis Presley to Clint Eastwood, who filmed scenes for Every Which Way But Loose inside the establishment in 1978.

While the ground-floor retail is fully leased, the upper floors present another opportunity. Four office suites totaling 7,081 square feet remain available across the second and third floors, with asking rents of $15 per square foot annually, triple net, through Unique Properties.

As East Colfax undergoes significant infrastructure investment and commercial change, Bourbon Square offers an example of how historic buildings can accommodate new businesses while preserving a connection to the corridor’s past.

625 Crossing Drive, Wheat Ridge, CO

Chef Troy Guard is heading west! HashTAG , the popular boozy brunch concept from TAG Restaurant Group, opened its fourth location on October 15 at The Lookout at Clear Creek Crossing in Wheat Ridge. The opening marks Guard’s first restaurant on the west side of the Denver metro area.

Located at the southwest corner of I-70 and Highway 58, the new HashTAG anchors The Lookout, a five-acre dining and entertainment district developed by Evergreen Devco. The development features a public park, mountain views, an amphitheater, fire pits, and shared outdoor gathering spaces.

The Wheat Ridge restaurant introduces a new counter-to-table service model, where guests can order food and drinks at the counter before settling in for full table service. The location also places a greater emphasis on weekday lunch, catering to nearby residents, office workers, and hospital employees while maintaining the weekend brunch experience that made HashTAG a Denver favorite.

The menu features signature dishes including Eggs Benedict, Chilaquiles, Biscuits & Gravy, the Big Cast-Iron Cinnamon Roll, and oversized HashTAG Hotcakes. The full bar serves Bloody Marys, mimosas, and the popular Big A$$ Breakfast Punch.

HashTAG joins Prost Brewing and The Agora at Applewood at The Lookout, where a communal dining license allows guests to move between participating concepts with drinks in hand. With hundreds of new residents nearby and direct access to the Clear Creek Trail, the district is taking shape as a new dining and entertainment destination for Wheat Ridge and the surrounding west metro communities.

Nearly two decades after establishing TAG Restaurant Group in Denver, Guard continues expanding his restaurant portfolio, this time bringing one of his most recognizable concepts to a new part of the metro area.
