Penterra New Condos For Sale Again

April 14, 2012 By Larry Hotz, Kentwood Real Estate Leave a Comment

Penterra Condos are luxury, high-rise units in the Denver Tech Center. 32 new condominiums are for sale and rent.

Penterra Plaza Partners, LLC has purchased the last 32 new units from Simpson Housing, the original developer of the luxury condominium high-rise in the Denver Technology Center. Now, I have listed those units for sale and they are also offered for lease by DenverRental.com.

Previously, Simpson had removed the last units for sale from the market while it settled a dispute with the Homeowners Association. That dispute is scheduled for trial in October but could be settled earlier. That has raised  some questions from potential buyers and renters. I have tried to answer them below.

This Condo for sale at Penterra, the luxury high-rise, has 2 bedrooms plus study at $459,900.

We at The Kentwood Company had those Penterra condo units listed for sale until about 2 years ago when Simpson removed the units from the real estate market. At that time, the Homeowners Association filed a construction defects lawsuit before the end of the statute of limitations. Since then, both sides have been attempting to research the alleged issues and move toward a settlement.

However, title companies and lenders refused to approve the building during that time period. So, for a while, there were no loans or title insurance polices available. After reviewing the issues now, several lenders and Land Title Company have agreed to approve the building. So, Penterra Partners is now able to sell condominium units one at a time. Still, buyers have questions and I have attempted to answer some of them here.

Frequently Asked Penterra Questions

1.  Why are there some units that have never been lived in, even though the complex is 11 years old?  Sales stopped about 2 years ago because the builder/developer, Simpson Housing, did not want to market the units when the lawsuit was filed. At that point there were problems getting title work and loans due to the lawsuit. There are now clean title commitments and some loans available from portfolio lenders.
2. Did the developer run out of money? No. The developer is solvent, to the best of my knowledge, and operating in the Penterra Office Building with a full staff.
3. Are the units just “shells”? Some Penthouses are shells and priced at higher price points.
4. Are they in undesirable locations? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Very few have  western Views. But, many have north views and/or views of the Cherry Creek Reservoir. Several penthouse units and units on the coveted Premier Levels near to top are available.
5. What are the plans, if any, to put these units on the market? While only 3 of the units formerly owned by the Builder/Developer are listed for sale in the Denver MLS, the Owner might consider a good offer on one of those that aren’t rented. Because some of the leased units have a 1 year lease, it is possible many of those could be listed  the Denver MLS in a year.
6. If so, what is the time frame? There is no official time table
7. How many units are involved? All 32 of the Builder/Developer units were purchased by Penterra Partners about a month ago. Penterra partners is partially owned by Peter Niederman who owns my firm, The Kentwood Company.
