A downtown Aspen parcel ripe for a condominium hotel is on the market.
The 27,000-square-foot parcel at 500 W. Hopkins Ave., formerly known as the Boomerang Lodge, already has city approval to be redeveloped with 54 lodging and residential units. The approval is transferable to the new owner.
Although much of the original lodge has been razed, the owner has preserved the historic east wing so it can be incorporated into the project.
HVS Capital Corp. is marketing the project. It expects to issue an offering package to qualified bidders next month.
Grant for growth study. A $20,000 Urban Land Institute grant will be used to create a long-term education and outreach campaign to increase public awareness of the benefits of sustainable growth.
The campaign will serve as a forum for community discussions about smart growth. ULI Colorado will develop a speakers’ bureau made up of its members who will meet with community groups to discuss land-use issues.
ULI Colorado will partner with the Colorado Tomorrow Alliance on the effort.
