The 9th Door has closed in LoDo. That’s no pun. Just a fact.

The 13-year-old Spanish-tinged tapas restaurant, located next door to fellow neighborhood long-timer Vesta, served its last meal Saturday night.

Its space at 1808 Blake Street has already been absorbed by the Sheamus Feeley Hospitality Group, according to a news release from that company. It’s unclear what Feeley and company plan to do with the space, but the group boasts a roster of experienced restaurant operators who have helped lead well-known establishments like Hillstone in Cherry Creek and the White House Tavern in Aspen.

“We have such immense respect for the concepts that have been built here in LoDo, long before the neighborhood was what it is now,” Sheamus Feeley, president of founder of the eponymous company, said in a news release, crediting the 9th Door and Vesta for their longevity. “We’re excited to bring something to Denver that will add to the already vibrant conversation happening here.”

The 1,000-square-foot home at 2122 Goss Circle is on a is 10,000-square-foot lot in a central Boulder neighborhood formerly known as the “Little Rectangle” — a place once populated by black and Hispanic people, who were often barred from owning homes elsewhere in Boulder.

The property was purchased in 1949 by Frank and Mary Chavez, who renovated the circa 1890 home and added a two-car garage. The house is in poor condition and has been uninhabited since 2016, when Mary Chavez, now 95, moved to assisted living.

Chavez’s family has a buyer ready to close on the property, which is expected to fetch up to $800,000. The buyer intends to demolish the house and g..

Boston-based ezCater, one of the largest tech companies in the business-catering niche, has tapped Denver to be its second home.

The company, which developed an online ordering system to connect businesses to 60,000 caterers nationwide, has already begun the process of moving into a 15,000-square-foot office in downtown Denver to ramp up a customer service operation.
