Bernard Hurley’s RiNo Land Grab | Denver News

Denver developer Bernard Hurley just dropped $1.5 million on a historic RiNo corner lot — once home to the bar River, which relocated earlier this year — sealing his land assemblage along the South Platte River. At $464/sq ft, the 3,300-sq-ft property (on less than a third of an acre) is poised to become a new RiNo-style bar, seamlessly connected to its neighbor. The site’s history runs deep: it was once the Welcome Inn dive bar since 1977, and Hurley bought it for $289K in 2014. While not part of his larger Hurley Place mixed-use development (offices, apartments, hotel, retail between 38th and 36th), he snapped it up to maintain control over the neighborhood’s future. Across the street, the former Blue Moon Brewing space will soon host Sprouts Farmers Market — though Hurley’s keeping that quiet.
