Niles Emerick is looking to squeeze 15 new residences and a little retail where a single-family home currently stands. “It is still very preliminary, but we want to understand how many units we can actually fit in there with the updates to parking, the modernized parking requirements,” Emerick said, referencing Denver’s recent ordinance eliminating parking minimums. Emerick submitted plans to Denver last month for a mixed-use development on an 0.29-acre lot at 992 Knox Court in Denver’s Villa Park neighborhood. A small 920-square-foot retail operation for the corner of 10th Avenue and Knox is planned, with a pair of apartments…

The Secret Garden Bar & Cafe closed abruptly during service on Friday morning after workers began petitioning passers-by about their efforts to form a union. City Street Investors opened Secret Garden a year ago, next to its company headquarters at the Tears–McFarlane House, 1290 Williams St., a historic mansion adjacent to Cheesman Park in Denver. But barista Tess Devillier told the Denver Post that the company grew frustrated by employee attempts to unionize earlier this year. She said she was working Friday when two of the firm’s employees emptied the cafe — which is one of the only restaurants located…

The Centennial Technology Center, a nearly 88,000-square-foot Class A small-bay industrial and R&D property in Centennial, has been acquired by ZS Capital Partners, a Denver-based real estate investment firm, for $14.6 million.

Centennial Technology Center aligns perfectly with that vision and demonstrates our continued confidence in Colorado’s…

WARE, U.K. —  The Broncos finished their practice week in England with an audible. After practicing Wednesday and Thursday at Tottenham’s training facility north of London, Sean Payton’s team moved its Friday practice even farther out of the city to a field on its hotel grounds. Minnesota used the practice field all of last week before playing against Cleveland at Tottenham, and Payton said it was in terrific shape after spending two days of practice elsewhere. “The Friday schedule at home with the linemen and recovery, it’s easier to do logistically (at the hotel),” Payton said. “You know what you’re…

WARE, U.K. — The Broncos will try to run their winning streak to three games Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and build on what’s shaping up to be a promising season. They’ve got plenty of building in the future back home, too. Broncos CEO and owner Greg Penner, on Friday, spoke for the first time since the day the franchise announced Burnham Yard as its preferred site for a new stadium and said the planning and design for a state-of-the-art stadium and surrounding entertainment districts are in early stages. “We’re still in the early phases of design,” Penner said as…

For many people, the word “homebrewing” summons a haze of sepia-toned nostalgia: Neighbors sneaking through the night with bottles tucked beneath their arms. Bathtub gin bubbling away behind barn doors, and the general sense that someone, somewhere, is about to be chased by a trench coat-wearing revenue agent. Or, if you’ve logged too many late-night hours watching the Discovery Channel, it brings to mind the premise of “Moonshiners,” a couple of dudes in overalls distilling questionable concoctions in rusty bathtubs somewhere deep in the Appalachian Hills: Complete with clouds of steam, clinking mason jars and the looming threat of spontaneous…

County clerks across Colorado will begin mailing ballots to voters today for a November election that promises to be far less dramatic and fraught than the one a year ago. The Nov. 4 off-year election will feature two state ballot issues and a wide array of local measures and candidates running for office, but no federal or statewide races. At the state level, voters will consider Propositions LL and MM, both aimed at shoring up funding for the Healthy School Meals for All Program, which was created by a measure voters passed in 2022 to provide free school meals to…

By MATTHEW BROWN and MATTHEW DALY WASHINGTON (AP) — Congressional Republicans have voted to roll back restrictions on mining, drilling and other development in three Western states, advancing President Donald Trump’s ambitions to expand energy production from public lands. Senators voted 50-46 Thursday to repeal a land management plan for a large swath of Alaska that was adopted in the final weeks of Democratic President Joe Biden’s administration. Lawmakers voted to roll back similar plans for land in Montana and North Dakota earlier this week. The timing of Biden’s actions made the plans vulnerable to the Congressional Review Act, which…
