The five priciest Denver-area home sales in June included a Highlands Ranch mansion purchased by the coach of the Denver Nuggets, a Cherry Hills Village mansion and three homes in Denver’s Cherry Creek, including two on the same block.

The top spot went to a home in the 400 block of Saint Paul St. in Denver. 460 Saint Paul LLC, a Colorado corporation formed on May 17, purchased the property from retired car dealer Jerry Glauser and his wife, Barbara, for $8.3 million.

The five-bedroom, eight-bathroom home designed by architect Michael Knorr sits on one-third acre in Cherry Creek. It features 12-foot ceilings, heated floors, a spiral staircase, an elevator, a domed skylight and a two-story gym.

The Glausers purchased the home in 2004 for $4.2 million, then bought the one next door for $850,000. They scraped the latter and turned to Paul Kobey, the original builder, to expand the house.

They decided to sell it and buy something smaller in Denver because they own homes in Aspen, Arizona, and Florence, Italy.

“We love Denver, but we only spend about a month here a year, and it doesn’t make sense to have a 12,000-square-foot house,” Glauser said in 2023. “We wish we could take it with us.”

The Glausers initially listed the property with Kentwood Real Estate DTC for $14 million in 2019 before removing the listing. Kentwood relisted it for $11 million in June 2020 before again removing the listing. Douglas Kerbs with LIV Sotheby’s International Realty then listed the home for $11 million in March 2022 before lowering the price to $10 million in March.

Glauser owned several Glauser Mercedes-Benz dealerships, including one in Westminster, before selling them and retiring.

Kerbs represented both the buyer and sellers.

According to MLS data, here are June’s next four most expensive home sales:

DENVER (KDVR) — The largest regional park in Arapahoe County is reopening Monday following a massive remodel that took more than a year.

Dove Valley Regional Park underwent an $18 million makeover that began in March 2023. On Monday at noon, the park will reopen.

According to the Arapahoe County Government, the 35-year-old park has doubled in size and now occupies over 90 acres.

“Upgrading the facilities and amenities in our parks will help more people spend time outdoors, stay active, and build stronger relationships with their neighbors,” said District 2 Commissioner Jessica Campbell. “By investing in our parks, we are investing in the future of our county and a healthy quality of life for our residents.”   

If you head to the new and improved park on Monday, here is what you can expect:

• Upgraded athletic fields 
• New roadway access and parking lot 
• Walking trails 
• New 165-car parking lot 
• Large playground for ages 2-12  
• New off-leash dog park 
• Outdoor fitness equipment station with stair climb overlook 
• Shade pavilion with picnic shelters 
• Sledding hill for winter months
• Refurbished restroom facilities 

Arapahoe County also said the park will have a bike park and pump track, which are expected to open later this summer.

The $18 million makeover was funded by the Arapahoe County Open Space Sales and Use Tax, which the county said helps fund and improve services in the area.

The Dove Valley Regional Park is located at 7900 S. Potomac Street Road in Centennial and is right next to the Denver Broncos training camp facility and the Centennial Airport.

DENVER — Denver7 is in the final days of operating out of the 123 Speer Boulevard location before moving broadcasts to our new state-of-the-art facility at 2323 Delgany.

While we are excited to experience the upgrades at the new building, we wanted to reflect on Denver7’s history at its Speer location.

Bill Saul is a member of the Broadcast Pioneers of Colorado and worked for KLZ radio in the 1960s. KLZ was the first radio station in Denver, which went on the air in the 1920s.

“To make it to Denver radio when I was 21 was something,” Saul said, thinking back on how he felt when he was first hired.

In 1953, KLZ added television into the mix, which would eventually become KMGH.

Saul remembers moving into the building we now know as Denver7 in 1969. Before that, he worked in the original building where Denver7’s parking lot is located.

“It gave us a much bigger studio; it was a much nicer studio,” Saul said about moving into the larger space. “When we were in the old building, the pink building, we were in a closet, literally.”

Denver7 gave Saul one last tour of the building at 123 Speer before we move to 2323 Delgany.

“A piece of history. Definitely, absolutely,” said Saul while sitting inside the control room.

However, what’s made the space so special over the last several decades are the people who have shared their stories with Denver7 and the individuals who work to ensure those stories continue to be shared.

We’re not going anywhere and are ready to cover Colorado’s future from our new space in Five Points.

In May 2021, Denver City Council rejected an application to make 123 Speer a landmark. That application for historic designation was not filed on behalf of Denver7 and went against our wishes, as our former General Manager Dean Littleton stated at the time.
