Owner of Denver Post agrees to $13.5 million settlement with city over unpaid rent, will remove sign

The owner of The Denver Post must pay the city of Denver $13.5 million and take the newspaper’s name off 101 W. Colfax Ave. under the terms of a settlement to cover back rent on the high-profile building that hasn’t been paid since August. 

City of Denver officials announced the settlement Tuesday, resolving a protracted dispute with DP Media LLC over the curved, white building at the corner of Broadway and Colfax Avenue.

Despite the name on the outside, The Denver Post newsroom has not been in the building since 2018. The newspaper moved its editorial employees eight years ago to its printing facility in Commerce City.

But the company continued to hold the master lease on the property and leased several floors to the city of Denver.
