The U.S. General Services Administration plans to sell two garages it owns in Denver’s Five Points neighborhood totaling nearly 31K SF.
The properties being sold include a two-story, 19K SF garage at 2106 California St. and a one-story, 12K SF garage at 2101 Welton St.

Bidding for each property starts at $120K.
The sale is part of the administration’s plan to cut delinquent maintenance costs and “ensure taxpayers no longer pay for underutilized federal space,” GSA said in a statement.
GSA also listed other buildings across the country for sale. It expects the sale of these buildings, including the two in Denver, to eliminate $5B in annual operating costs and delinquent maintenance.
