The historic newsroom at 101 West Colfax Avenue is expanding its footprint once again. Denver City Council has formally adopted a resolution amending the sublease agreement with DP Media Network LLC, unlocking nearly 28,000 square feet of new office space on the building's ninth floor.
This move injects fresh capital into the 80202 corridor, where the iconic structure has long anchored the city's civic life. The amendment increases the total sublease value to $31,319,346.69, reflecting an additional $9,629,641.85 in agreed-upon costs for the new square footage.
The filing, dated February 13, 2018, specifically targets the upper levels of the complex, transforming previously unused or underutilized areas into active commercial zones. While the description lacks granular detail on the intended tenants, the scale of the financial adjustment suggests a significant operational shift for the property owner and its lessee.
For a building that has housed the city's primary newspaper for decades, this expansion marks a tangible step toward repurposing its vast interior for modern office needs. The approval adds to a broader trend of adaptive reuse and commercial stabilization along Colfax Avenue, a corridor that has seen its share of vacated storefronts and uncertain futures in recent years.
Residents concerned with how this expansion impacts local traffic or zoning can review the full legislative record and attend future public meetings at Denver City Hall. The relevant legislation is available for public inspection via the Denver City Council portal.
