Denver7’s building at Speer Boulevard and Lincoln Street will not be designated a city landmark.
The Denver City Council voted unanimously Monday to reject a landmark application submitted for the building at 123 Speer Blvd. by three Denver residents. The application was opposed by the television station.
The vote paves the way for the station to sell its 2.3-acre block and means its building and five-story octagonal tower will likely be demolished by the buyer.
Councilwoman Robin Kniech criticized city staff and the Landmark Preservation Commission for determining the building had the potential to be eligible for landmark status, saying that “the adjectives matter” when it comes to criteria.
