The site of a deadly construction fire in Uptown in 2018 has sold.
063 Design & Development purchased the 0.43-acre lot at 1833 Emerson St. earlier this month for $8.2 million, according to Nexus Commercial Realty, whose brokers Travis Hodge and Tony Bobay of the firm represented the buyer in the transaction.
The seller was Denver-based Allante Properties, which maintained 1 percent ownership of the property, according to public records. The firm, acting as Emerson Place Apartments LLC, paid $1.7 million for the development site in January 2017.
Allante was constructing a five-story, 85-unit building on the site when, in March 2018, the partial structure caught on fire midday. Two contractors 37-year-old Dustin Peterson and 29-year-old Roberto Flores-Prieto were killed, and others were injured.
