A group of local investors recently bought the Union Printers Home near Memorial Park for $18.5 million to revitalize and preserve the property.
Seven local families bought the 26-acre campus at 101 South Union Boulevard at the end of June and expect to renovate the buildings, although they have not settled on a development plan for the property yet, said Susan Pattee, a member of the ownership group.
Pattee s mother, Kathy Loo, a former Colorado Springs city councilmember and philanthropist, and her brother, James Loo, are also part of the group, along with the O Neil Group and All Pro Capital, both local companies, she said. The group bought the property as UPH Partners.

The stone masonry over the door at West Middle School reads 1924. A group of students enter the school on April 7. Under a proposal from the District 11 School Board, 16 schools would be renovated or rebuilt, including the West campus, and all schools would see upgrades.
