Less than a year after buying Sears Holding Corp., Transform Holdco said it plans to close 96 Sears and Kmart stores, or more than one-third of its remaining large-format stores.

Going out of business sales at these stores, which include six in the Greater Bay Area, will begin on Dec. 2. Sears stores in Tracy, San Jose, San Bruno and Kmarts in Petaluma, Concord and Scotts Valley are on the list.

Transformco cited a “difficult retail environment and other challenges” for the decision to shutter…

In each of the past four years, St. Peters has led the region with the most home sales annually. It’s poised to make it a fifth straight year.

That crisp chill in the air means the summer buying season is definitely over, but home sellers in some Columbus neighborhoods still have plenty to celebrate from a year that's brought a continued uptick in housing prices.

Questions linger about when the market will turn. But as of the end of September, the region's year-to-date median sales price of $210,000 was 7.7% higher than it was at the end of the first nine months of 2018, according to data from Columbus Realtors.

In the attached gallery,…

The home, which is in Merton, spans 6,000 square feet and features five bedrooms and five bathrooms.

The property includes 100 feet of frontage on Beaver Lake and features a detached garage for storing boats or other water or all-terrain toys, as well as a three-and-a-half car garage with access to the lower level. There is…

With respect to the former-adult-movie-theater-turned-craft-distillery a block over, one storefront along South Broadway stands out as a glowing, hot-pink example of what the past half dozen years of change has brought to the historic Denver boulevard.

On the corner of Bayaud Avenue and Broadway, the second Denver location of Voodoo Doughnut has been boxing up its brand of oddball, primarily ring-shaped confections 24 hours a day since opening in June. Decorated in the Portland, Ore.-based company’s trademark pink color scheme and sporting an eye-catching neon sign, it’s perhaps the biggest store in Voodoo’s catalog to date, taking up two storefronts, including the corner spot, in the White Palace building and offering seating unlike its predecessor on Colfax Avenue.

“We searched around and we didn’t find a lot of areas for families to come to,” Voodoo Doughnut CEO Chris Schultz said of the stretch of South Broadway, the confluence of Denver’s Baker, Speer and Washington Park West ne..

Golden Triangle sports bar Cap City Tavern will stay in its current spot at least until 2021 following the property’s sale to the Clyfford Still Museum.

According to Cap City’s owner, Dino McTaggart, his almost 20-year-old bar signed another five-year lease with its new owners. The soonest he would have to vacate is February 2021, according to the terms.

“But we might be here until August of 2024,” he said. “We will be moving Cap City nearby once our lease is up.”

McTaggart didn’t specify a new location for the bar, but he did buy another property in the neighborhood in case of any unforeseen business changes. Last spring, he purchased the Bannock Street Garage three blocks south of Cap City at Bannock and 10th Avenue.

Denver city officials teed up a $6 million settlement Tuesday with the buyer of Park Hill Golf Course, but the agreement doesn’t resolve questions about what might happen to the land.

For nearly three years, a community debate has pit open-space advocates against development supporters who want to see housing or other uses allowed on some of the 155 acres in northeast Denver. Now the agreement reached with Westside Investment Partners gives the developer at least three more years to plot out its plans. Westside bought the land for $24 million in July from a trust managed by Clayton Early Learning.

“We have been working hard to get to know the people, the history and the community surrounding this unique property and are looking forward to participating in a city-led, community-driven process to reimagine this land for the future,” Kenneth Ho, who leads the project for Westside, said in a news release.

Westside officials created a website for residents to get updates and find out how..
