Former Denver Mayor’s Purchase Signals New Era for Five Points Community, Honors Late Developer and Philanthropist

In Denver’s famed Five Points Community where the spirit of jazz legends, perseverance and community still shape the streets, a single building is set to become something more than a redevelopment project. It’s a tribute, a promise and, for many, a long-awaited signal of renewal.

Michael B. Hancock, who served three terms as Denver’s mayor, spanning 12 years from 2011 to 2023, has purchased the 7,600-square-foot triangular brick office building located at 2413 North Washington Street for $1.4 million; a structure that carries more than a century of history. Once an early 1900s ice house and later the flagship office of late Black developer and philanthropist Carl Bourgeois. Hancock, Denver’s second Black mayor, said the building now stands at the intersection of past and possibility.

“My partners and I are excited to invest in the Five Points community, which I consider home,” he said. “This community embraced my family and me as a child, with its rich culture and heritage. I am proud to locate my companies and foundation here. We have some exciting plans for this building; we are just getting started!”

Under Hancock’s vision, the structure dubbed “the triangle building” will be transformed into a hub for nonprofits, community gathering and civic engagement, a place designed not just for commerce, but for culture, connection and continuity. Construction is expected to begin as early as this summer, with the final timeline dependent on the scope of the renovation project.
