Latest OneFormer art gallery building in RiNo sells for $3.2M to California investors
A building in RiNo that was previously home to an art gallery has changed hands.
RiNo Wynkoop Investors LLC purchased the building at 3675 Wynkoop St. on Monday for $3.15 million, according to public records. NBKC Bank provided financing for the deal.
The building is 10,352 square feet across two floors, making the deal worth $304 a square foot. It sits on a 0.28-acre lot that also includes a 14-space parking lot.
The building was previously occupied by Helikon Gallery & Studios, which announced in September 2019 that it would close by the end of that year. The business, opened in 2013, rented studio space and allowed artists to showcase their work.

Eight-story apartment building planned along Grant Street in Cap Hill
A small parking garage could soon be replaced with apartments in a section of Cap Hill that’s a hotbed for planned redevelopment.
Englewood-based Palisade Partners wants to erect an eight-story, 110-unit building at 720 N. Grant St., according to a concept plan submitted to the city last week.
Palisade purchased the 0.36-acre lot in 2014 for $700,000, according to public records. Craine Architecture drew up plans for the structure.
Sara White, project manager for Palisade, said the two-story parking garage at the site was previously leased for use by a nearby office building. But when repairs became necessary in recent months, the company opted to just fence it off.
Palisade is eyeing puzzle lifts — mechanical systems that stack multiple cars — to provide about 80 parking spaces for the proposed building.
“They really help park a tight site like 720 Grant,” White said.
White said the company is hopeful it could begin work early next year, although that is dependent on city approv..
Lakewood’s Belmar shopping center facing foreclosure; city points to challenges of COVID-19
The Belmar shopping center, one of Lakewood’s most prominent retail developments, is in foreclosure, Jefferson County documents show.
The center’s failing finances, first reported by 9News on Tuesday, were outlined in a public notice filed by the Jefferson County Public Trustee’s office in late October. The notice showed that the registered property owner, Belmar Commercial Owner LP, owes $108.8 million on an original $111 million loan.
The debt holders on the property have filed the necessary paperwork to force a sale under the terms of the deed, the Oct. 26 trustee’s notice says. A public auction date was set for Feb. 25, according to the public trustee.
Belmar opened in 2004, an open-air shopping district designed to serve as a defacto downtown for Lakewood. It took the place of a defunct retail center, the former Villa Italia mall at the southeast corner of South Wadsworth Boulevard and West Alameda Avenue.
Today, the center’s website says more than 80 local and national compan..
Rocky road: McGregor Square, the Rockies and The Trade
Colorado Rockies co-owner Dick Monfort’s McGregor Square development next door to Coors Field has dealt with COVID-19 delays, a lost shipping container and now angry Rockies fans.
The late-January trade of superstar third baseman and face of the franchise Nolan Arenado ratcheted up fan scrutiny on the owner’s involvement in the three-building project south of the ballpark.
After consecutive losing seasons, the club shipped Arenado and $50 million to the St. Louis Cardinals for left-handed pitcher Austin Gomber and a quartet of prospects this offseason. After being in the top half of Major League Baseball teams for payroll at the end of 2019 season, according to Sportrac, the Rockies are now projected to open the 2021 season in April with the 18th highest payroll, dropping below league average.
The move has sparked outcry from the team’s fanbase, including vows on social media to boycott home games in 2021 and accusations that Monfort is too financially and mentally invested in his r..
