More change is coming to the northern reaches of University Hills.

A developer spent more than $13 million last week on property at the Interstate 25-Evans Avenue interchange, acquiring office buildings, an English language school and a church while taking control of both sides of a dead-end street.

CREA-Flywheel Evans LandCo LLC purchased 2100, 2135 and 2175 S. Cherry St. for $7.75 million. The entity paid $2.45 million for 2160 S. Clermont St., and another $3.1 million for 2150 S. Cherry St., according to county records.

The LLC also took control of the motel at 4500 E. Evans Ave. from the related 4500 E Evans LLC, which paid $3.3 million for the property in July 2016, according to records.

The purchase included the building at 2150 S. Cherry St., which is used as a church by The House Worship Center. (Thomas Gounley)

The acquisitions add up to about 3.4 acres.

The LLC is affiliated with Denver’s Flywheel Capital. Flywheel Managing Director Ben Hrouda did not respond to a request for comment Wednesday.

Ron Allum of Occam Real Estate and Bill Trinen of Trinen Realty Partners represented both sides in the sale of 2100, 2135 and 2175 S. Cherry St.

Allum said the properties were bought to be redeveloped, but that he didn’t have specifics regarding what will be built. No redevelopment proposals have been submitted to the city.

Allum also said the new owner could request the city vacate the portion of Cherry Street running between the properties, which would allow for more developable space.
