Two adjacent church buildings in West Highland have a new owner.
Paul Tamburello, the Denver developer who has become more known for his ice cream company in recent years, last week purchased the churches at 3401 W. 29th Ave. and 2945 N. Julian St.
The structures are separated by an alley.

“They’re just two really beautiful buildings that need to be preserved, and I think repurposed in the most creative way to be a community asset,” Tamburello told BusinessDen. “What that means is yet to be figured out, and a conversation with the community.”

The days are numbered for a 70-year-old church in the Sloan’s Lake neighborhood.
Denver-based homebuilder Blvdway Communities paid $3.35 million last month for the former Sloan’s Lake Church building at 2796 N. Utica St., according to public records.
Vice President of Sales and Marketing Brian Cartwright told BusinessDen that the company plans to demolish the church and build 10 detached single-family homes. The company paid $46 a square foot for the 1.67-acre lot, which is a block north of Sloan’s Lake Park.
“As a builder, we have specialized in some of these infill locations,” he said.
