Lenders are eyeing two downtown Denver buildings for foreclosure following the exit of prominent tenants, the Denver Business Journal reported.

One building, 410 17th Street, was purchased in 2019 for $127.25M and was 35% occupied at the end of August. The other building, 1801 Broadway, was bought for $40.1M in 2019 and was just 62% occupied at the end of the first quarter, DBJ reported.

"We are working collaboratively with our lender and remain focused on ensuring that building users remain unaffected," an 1801 Broadway spokesperson told the publication.
