The Regional Transportation District’s parking lots are some of Denver’s hottest development spots. Mile High Development and BMC Investments, both Denver-based firms, submitted plans to the city last month for a new nine-story, 196-unit apartment building on a third of the 4-acre parking lot for RTD’s Colorado Station light rail stop at 4301 E. Evans Ave. The submission comes eight months after Denver-based Delwest submitted plans to build apartments on the same spot. The site is directly south of the Colorado Center office campus, which consists of a pair of 12-story office towers and an additional 13-story one. A representative…

Vance Joseph has preached the same tenet for half the calendar now, even after one of the best years of his professional life. Let’s start over again. In 2024, Joseph’s defense was one of the primary catalysts for a 10-win season that reset expectations in Denver. Zach Allen, Nik Bonitto and company leveled sledgehammers at enemy lines. Defensive Player of the Year Pat Surtain II was the league’s best anti-aircraft weapon. They had a great defense, Joseph affirmed during June’s minicamp. That doesn’t necessarily mean, however, that these Broncos are a great defense. “Last year counts, but it doesn’t matter moving…

It doesn’t matter if he sees himself as a bonus Jonas, wanting to join brothers Kevin, Nick and Joe on the Living The Dream tour. It doesn’t matter if he wants a reality TV show, “My Big Fat Greek Meeting,” about his negotiations with Panathinaikos. Jonas Valanciunas is a Denver Nugget. The trade went through, making Dario Saric a King — read that without laughing — and Valanciunas the new backup center at Ball Arena. In a perfect world, this would be the end of it, capping one of the most remarkable offseasons in franchise history. But there remains a…

Colorado quarterback Kaidon Salter participates in a photo shoot during Big 12 football media day on July 9. (CU Athletics/courtesy photo) After two full seasons as the starting quarterback at Liberty, Kaidon Salter could have taken the easy route for his final year of college football. Salter could have remained at Liberty, where he already had a starting job, or gone to a school that guaranteed him a top spot. Instead, Salter chose Colorado, to play for head coach Deion Sanders and to have the opportunity to compete with a blue chip freshman, Julian “JuJu” Lewis. “Nothing’s given to me,”…

Denver Post beat writer Bennett Durando opens up the Nuggets Mailbag periodically during the season and offseason. You can submit a Nuggets- or NBA-related question here. Did Sacramento know about the Jonas Valanciunas/Europe situation when they made the trade? The whole thing seems shady from that end. — Andrew, Denver Thanks for starting us off, Andrew. I honestly don’t know for sure how much the Kings did or didn’t know ahead of time. That part definitely remains murky, and I can see how it’s tempting to assume they were stealth-dumping their problem on Denver’s doorstep. But my educated guess is that they couldn’t…

Think back to your own school days. How much learning, friendship, and fun would have been lost if you had been allowed to bring a small television set to school and watch it all day long, even at lunch and recess? It may seem like an absurd question — a television set? at school? — but it is precisely the reality that students today are experiencing. A young girl checks her cell phone. Nearly half of American teens say that they are online “almost constantly.” (Getty Images iStockphoto) Since the early 2010s, U.S. middle and high schools have seen a…

Attorney General Phil Weiser’s early entrance into the Colorado governor’s race has paid dividends as he competes with U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet for Democratic backers and dollars.  Weiser rode his January announcement for the 2026 nomination to a surge in fundraising in the first quarter of the year — and he continued the push through the recently closed second quarter. As of June 30, according to reports due Tuesday, he held a clear cash advantage over Bennet, who entered the race in April. In all, Weiser has raised $2.9 million, including $1 million in the second quarter. Bennet has raised $1.7…

After a week of rapid growth, crews battling the largest fire on Colorado’s Western Slope have finally begun to contain the flames, fire officials said. Three of the four still-spreading fires in western Colorado were sparked July 10 during a lightning storm. The nearly 2,300-acre Sowbelly fire, which hasn’t grown since Monday, was started by the same storm. The Sowbelly fire is 16% contained. To the west, fire officials announced Thursday that they’d been able to contain 9% of the 15,000-acre Turner Gulch fire’s perimeter.
