Colorado motel being sold for $10 — but buyer is required to renovate and convert building for the homeless
This is a suite deal for the right person.
An entire motel in Denver is being sold for much less than what an average traveler would pay to sleep in a room for just one night.
But there’s a catch.

Colorado’s former Stay Inn is priced at just $10 but the buyer must agree to renovate the entire building and convert it into “supportive housing” for people experiencing homelessness, according to Fox 31 Denver.
The Mile High City bought the building for around $9 million in the summer of 2023 but hasn’t made any major renovations besides “minor repairs” to protect the property.
The new owner will have to accept some extra baggage before they check in to their new project because officials are selling the building as-is.
The fenced-off tan and grey structure has four levels with a total of 96 units.
It received upgraded kitchenettes and a new sprinkler system from the previous owner but “structural repairs” to walkways, railings and electrical systems need to be done, the Denver Post reports.
City officials hope to have a deal locked in with a buyer at the end of the year so the transformation can begin.
The number of people experiencing homelessness in the Denver metro area increased 10% from 2023 to 2024 with nearly 10,000 souls living without a permanent residence, according to a report by Metro Denver Homelessness Initiative.
Negotiations are reportedly underway for a potential development partner for the multi-level building but no firm has been selected just yet.
The Denver City Council must approve any contract before the project moves forward, according to comments made to local media outlets by Denver Department of Housing Stability spokesperson Derek Woodbury.
“We are hopeful that the procurement will result in a path forward for delivering supportive housing at the site,” Woodbury wrote in an email to Fox 31 Denver.
The deal isn’t going to be a temporary one.
The motivated person with the lucky $10 will have to agree to unique rules for a very extended stay.
According to the city’s request for proposals reviewed by Fox 31 Denver, the new owner is required to keep this property as an income-restricted housing facility for 99 years.
This means the owner must commit to using the land to help the needy until at least 2125.
“We are hopeful to bring such an agreement to Council later this year,” Woodbury added.
Even though the building is vacant, the property is currently being used to house homeless people in dozens of shed-like structures in the parking lot.

Even with all of the records that Nikola Jokic already holds in the NBA, he somehow still finds a way to mesmerize fans every game.
As the Denver Nuggets faced off against the Utah Jazz on Friday night, Jokic did the unbelievable and hit a near full-court buzzer-beater in a moment that left fans shocked.
Most importantly for Jokic and the Nuggets, they came out with a win against the Utah Jazz.
NIKOLA JOKIC IS INSANE. 🤯🤯🤯

After the game, Nuggets head coach Michael Malone gave his thoughts on Jokic’s impressive accomplishment.
“I don’t know if this still holds true and maybe you guys would know but, somebody told me if Nikola Jokic didn’t shoot those desperation heaves, he would be leading the league in three-point shooting,” Malone said. “If you took all of those out, and what you love about him is he does not care. He shoots the ball because he believes that they are all going in.”
“And when I asked him about it after the game when it left your hands did you think it was going to go in? And he told me actually it did, the way it came out and we all know that we have got spoiled watching him with the touch that he has,” Malone said. “His shot-making ability that he has is just incredible. That put us up by ten at the half. But Nikola can find ways to impress which is very hard to do when a player with as many accomplishments that he has.”
To a degree, NBA fans truly have become spoiled watching Nikola Jokic play basketball. Game after game, he’s found a new Wilt Chamberlain-esque record ot break and continues to hit half-court shots with ease.
Nikola Jokic is in a rarefied type of air, one where he could easily be winning NBA MVPs every year, but he doesn’t, solely due to voter fatigue.
