History
[edit]The Denver Energy Center was completed in 1979.[3] In April 2013, it was sold for $176 million to Gemini Rosemont, a company based in Los Angeles.[3]
In June 2022, an affiliate of JP Morgan Chase was the sole bidder on the foreclosed Denver Energy Center buildings. The buyer was also the lender on the 785,549 square foot property, paying $88.2M for the building in the foreclosure auction.[4][5] In September 2025, the building was sold once again at auction to Luzzatto Company, this time for just $5.3 million, valuing it at just 3% of the purchase price it fetched in 2013.[5][6] Luzzatto announced plans to convert the two buildings into at least 1,200 apartments.[7]
