The Weld County commissioners have agreed to buy two properties on the “West Block” site where a new judicial center is proposed.
County attorney Bruce Barker described the two properties in question as the Lincoln Plaza property, an apartment building, house and land at 1014 to 1020 9th St., near the southeast corner of 11th Avenue and 9th Street; and the Motorola building nearby, which is now the HCI Communications Inc. building at 1028 9th St. Barker discussed the properties with the county commissioners in a meeting Monday.
Lincoln Plaza’s negotiated price is $4.6 million, Barker told BizWest on Wednesday. The 1028 9th St. property also has an address of 908 11th Ave., Barker said, with a negotiated price of $850,000. The property transactions are expected to close in late October, Barker said. The buildings are expected to be torn down to make way for a new county judicial center that will take up most of the block, based on drawings of the project.
The properties in question make up a large chunk of the properties on the north side of the city block, or all of the buildings that front onto 9th Street, Barker said. On the 10th Street side of the block, Richmark Real Estate Partners has a contract to buy the First United Methodist Church building at 917 10th Ave. and two other buildings, Barker said.
Building purchase prices were not immediately made public. In all, the project is expected to cost an estimated $490 million.
A drawing of the proposed “West Block” shows the Alliance Medical Supply building at 914 11th Ave. as not being included in the development. Building owner C.J. Shovlin said he has been approached by officials.
“We’ve had some initial discussions,” Shovlin said. “We’re aware of what the plan is for the block.”
County commissioners also approved a “limited access agreement for judicial and administration project … for Richmark Vertikal LLC” on Monday, which allows the company to do its due diligence on another nearby property that’s proposed for future development.
Richmark Real Estate Partners LLC representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Plans call for a new city hall, a new school district building, a new parking garage and a new hotel, among other downtown development, as part of a civic campus.
The “West Block” site is one block west of the county’s Centennial Center, which is planned as a new location for an administrative building downtown.
At the same time, the longtime downtown trophy store Award Alliance LLC at 910 10th St. also has been told to find a new home, said owner Paul Hlad.
Award Alliance has a lease that ends in five months on its 10,000-square-foot space in a county-owned building, Hlad said.
“Progress makes a lot of changes,” Hlad said. “Sometimes it’s good, and sometimes it’s hard to live with. We have been able to serve the community really well from this location.”
Hlad said a few other buildings downtown are “semi-satisfactory” for his business, but that there is no parking. Other buildings and spaces he has looked at seem to be too small, and the company would need to downsize to consider moving to them, he said.
“We don’t need foot traffic walking by our store, but people come specifically to the store to see what they need or pick things up,” Hlad said.
Hlad said his business has been around long enough that he now sees second-generation customers, and he wants to continue to serve them.
“… awards and recognition are the mile markers on the highway of life. They show where we’ve been and how far we have come,” Hlad said.
