The University of Denver has been buying up condominiums in a small building next to its campus after quietly selling a nearby house it owned for nearly a century. The private school has purchased 13 residential units in the four-story building at 2295 E.
Asbury Ave. since May 2024, with the most recent deals taking place this month, according to public records. The purchases range from $220,000 to $270,000 per unit. In total, records show DU has spent $3.2 million for nearly half the building, which has around 30 units in all. Jon Stone, a spokesman for the university, didn’t directly respond when asked if DU expected to purchase additional units, but said it has “always looked for real estate opportunities that are located in close proximity to campus.”“Students, faculty and staff are given first priority to lease the housing,” Stone said in an email. While DU is adding housing along Asbury Place, last year it quietly sold a residence two blocks east of campus at 2100 S. Columbine St. The “Buchtel Bungalow” was once home to Henry Buchtel, who simultaneously served as governor of Colorado and chancellor of DU in the early 1900s. His daughter sold the house to DU in 1927 for $6,000.Colorado is progressive but LGBTQ students need our support more than ever Avalanche prospect Sean Behrens lost a season, but not his drive: ‘Just a special kid and a special player’ Avalanche prospects Jake Fisher, Tory Pitner have two traditions in mind: a DU national championship and joining the Pios-to-Avs pipeline Over the years, according to the college magazine, the house was a faculty club, residence hall, fraternity and home to DU’s final football coach . In recent years, it had been a housing option for DU leadership moving to Denver.“The house was no longer receiving enough use to justify the cost of maintaining the property,” Stone said. Months before the sale, Denver included the Buchtel Bungalow in its newly created University Park Historic District. DU had opposed the inclusion, saying it might sell the home in the future. “Inclusion in historic/design districts can make it burdensome for homeowners to make simple renovations or improvements … This may be a deterrent to some potential buyers,” Mark DeLorenzo, the university’s senior vice president for business and financial affairs, wrote at the time.Lawsuit-riddled HOA conflict takes new turn -- to U.S. bankruptcy courtColorado wildfires: Crosho fire near Yampa doubles in sizeFormer Rocky mascot sues Nuggets for discrimination, wrongful termination after hip replacement
