This Week’s Denver Deal Sheet
A piece of land near Empower Field at Mile High changed hands this week for more than $6.2M, according to a press release from Kaufman Hagan.
The land at 1660 Federal Blvd. was once the home of Ponce Furniture Co., which served Denver for several decades. The store’s former owner, Frank Ponce, also owned the KBNO radio station and did Spanish-language commentary about Denver Broncos games. The building is slated to become an entertainment venue including a roller rink and bar.
“This deal was an excellent reminder that redevelopment comes in many forms,” Kaufman Hagan’s Will Scherman said in a press release. “Originally marketed for complete demolition, the buyer ultimately approached the property with a different vision for the existing space that will add to an already fast-growing community.”
