Selling nostalgia: After 21 years at the helm, Carol Ann Sinclair has sold Nostalgic Homes to the husband-wife team of Jenny Apel and Corey Wadley.
“She saw it as a good fit for a husband-and-wife team, not a one-man job,” said Apel, who has been a broker with the company for 12 years. “It’s our intention, and Carol Ann’s goal, to keep it as a boutique real estate company that serves buyers and sellers of yesteryear homes.”
Sinclair retired from the business to spend more time with her family, Apel said.
Rec center to take off: Stapleton is poised to get an $18.5 million recreation center that includes a swimming pool, gymnasium, community room and concession stand.
The 65,000-square-foot facility, on 12.5 acres east of Westerly Creek Park on the north side of Martin Luther King Boulevard, will be owned by the city and county of Denver, said Dick Anderson, president of the Stapleton Development Corp.
The project is expected to break ground in January and be completed within a year.
Public-art consultant Barbara Neal recently issued a request for qualifications from artists interested in providing art for the project. For more information, contact barbneal@mindspring.com.
Reaching new heights: Two developers are teaming up to build the tallest buildings on the Interstate 25 corridor in northern Colorado.
Martin Lind, developer of Windsor’s Water Valley, and Stu McMillan, president of Fort Collins-based Everitt-MacMillan Development Inc., plan to construct two buildings of at least eight stories – perhaps as tall as 10 stories – at the northeast corner of I-25 and U.S. 34 just south of the Budweiser Events Center.
Lind said he already has commitments for at least 30 percent of the space, totaling 160,000 square feet. The $40 million project is expected to break ground next spring.
Selling sprouts: What’s believed to be Colorado’s largest alfalfa farm will be sold at an auction Sept. 14.
J.P. King Auction Co. will manage the sale of the 5,427-acre North Star Farm in Saguache County for Myron and Jayne Smith.
The property will sell at “absolute auction,” meaning it will go to the highest bidder with no minium bid or reserve.
