Judge Grants Relief of Stay on Denver Office Tower Foreclosure
What happened
U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Thomas McNamara granted a relief of stay to Wilmington Trust, allowing the loan trustee to take possession of a 145,000-square-foot office tower in Greenwood Village. At the same time, McNamara rejected a reorganization plan submitted by the building’s owner, an affiliate of Toma West. The building is currently believed to be worth $7.2 million and generates about $259,000 in rent monthly.

Why it matters
The ruling confirms severe financial distress within the Denver office market, as the building’s value is significantly lower than the outstanding principal owed to Wilmington Trust. This action allows the lender to proceed with taking possession of the property.
