Keli McGregor’s initials, KSM, have been emblazoned on a marker hanging at Coors Field since September 2010, a few months after the Colorado Rockies team president’s untimely death from complications from a rare virus.

On Thursday, Rockies principal owner and CEO Dick Monfort announced that isn’t the only monument to McGregor in LoDo anymore. Now, he has an entire city block named for him.

McGregor Square is now the name of the mammoth mixed-use development the Rockies are building across the street from Coors Field on the site of the former “West Lot” parking area. Monfort, at a naming ceremony held on the club level of the stadium, said that he had wrestled with a proper name for the project for more than a year, bringing in professional consultants and speaking with close friends.

“We wanted it to be something with character. We wanted it to be fun. It needed to have style and class. Needed to be a strong presence. And it needed to be one of a kind,” Monfort said, thinking back t..

A Denver judge properly decided former foreclosure king Larry Castle and his law firm did not violate state laws designed to protect consumers but, according to the Colorado Court of Appeals, wrongly fined the firm for not disclosing certain business connections it had.

Denver Post fileLarry CastleIn a unanimous 3-0 decision issued Thursday, the judges upheld a Denver court’s April 2017 exoneration of Castle and two other companies for alleged fraud, but overturned a $119,500 fine assessed against Castle on the one count of the state’s civil lawsuit it lost.

The decision gave Castle another victory in a seven-year legal battle against the Colorado attorney general’s office which unsuccessfully accused the law firm and two other defendants of reaping millions of dollars in illegitimate profits on the backs of consumers.

Castle’s biggest victory — a $1.9 million assessment by Denver District Judge Morris Hoffman against the state for having filed a frivolous lawsuit against Castle, hi..

Last year, WeWork officials touted that the New York-based co-working space provider was on pace to be Denver’s single biggest office space user by 2020.

For those that thought that 606,000 square feet would be enough to meet the shared-office giant’s demand in the market, guess again. On Friday, Denver-based EverWest Real Estate Investors and partners announced they are leasing the entirety of the freshly renovated 86,000-square-foot Junction 23 building just north of Coors Field to WeWork.

With that building in the bag, WeWork officials this week shared updated growth projections for the Denver metro area. Using the company’s preferred metric — total number of desks available to clients — WeWork grew by 100 percent in Denver in 2018, from 2,060 desks at two locations at the start of the year to 4,100 desks in four locations by New Year’s Eve. In 2019, it aims to grow from 4,100 desks to more than 13,000 desks at 11 locations, a growth rate of more than 217 percent. That square foot..

Spring didn’t pass over the metro Denver housing market this year. Lower mortgage rates and a wider selection of properties trumped stormy weather, driving a rebound in sales in March, according to an update from the Denver Metro Association of Realtors.

Buyers purchased 4,162 homes and condos in metro Denver in March, a 20 percent increase from February. Compared to March a year ago, sales remain off 11.7 percent.

“Despite the bomb cyclone and cold spells, the market saw a seasonal simmer as spring picked up steam with real estate transactions in March,” said Jill Schafer, chairwoman of the DMAR market trends committee, in comments accompanying the report.

The inventory of homes available for sale rose to 4,314 in March, up 5.2 percent from February and 26.3 percent from a year earlier. The inventory of condos available rose to 1,978, up 3.3 percent from February and up 64.4 percent from a year earlier.

Listings took about a month, or 31 days on average, to sell after they hit the..

File those federal and state income tax returns by April 15, and don’t forget property taxes, which are due right behind them.

Those must be paid by April 30, unless the mortgage servicer took them out already, or a taxpayer has made a half payment already. In that case, they are due June 15.

Take solace, because homeowners in Colorado carry the third-lowest effective property tax rate of any state, only 0.51 percent versus 1.16 percent nationally, according to a tax survey from ATTOM Data Solution.

But don’t take too much solace. Colorado’s average home price is now fifth highest in the country, resulting in the 21st lowest average property tax bill, not third lowest. The average is $2,241 versus $3,498 nationally.

In New Jersey, the most burdened state, homeowners pay $8,780 on average and in Connecticut, they pay $7,222 on average.
