The next chapter of the former Denver campus of Johnson & Wales University has begun.
Denver-based nonprofit Urban Land Conservancy closed on the purchase of the 13-building, 25-acre campus at 7150 Montview Blvd. in South Park Hill on Tuesday.
ULC President and CEO Aaron Miripol told BusinessDen the organization which has users lined up for every structure paid approximately $62 million.
That transaction was the first of a three-part deal, which saw ULC immediately resell portions of the campus to Denver Public Schools and the Denver Housing Authority, while retaining ownership of the remainder.
“To me, this is an amazing opportunity,” Miripol said.

Denver-based Urban Land Conservancy is under contract for the entire 25-acre campus in South Park Hill, according to sources familiar with the deal. The main address is 7150 Montview Blvd.
Providence, Rhode Island-based Johnson & Wales announced last June that it would close its campuses in Denver and North Miami, Florida, in the summer of 2021. The move will leave the private nonprofit institution with two campuses, in Providence and Charlotte, North Carolina.
ULC generally develops and manages projects that involve income-restricted housing, as well as office space leased to other nonprofit organizations. The company typically partners with other firms in its development work.

“I had such an amazing experience competing in the National Trial Competition. I couldn’t have asked for a better group to spend months preparing with than Sara, Conner, Jessie, and our coach Robert Little. I feel honored to have been able to compete alongside Sara, and I am so proud of what we were able to accomplish and thankful for the friendship we formed along the way. Thanks to Robert and his guidance this past year, we went into the competition confident and prepared to compete against the best advocates in the country. Because of Baylor Law and the advocacy program, I am leaving law school confident in my abilities and excited for my career as a Baylor Lawyer.”
