An alleged sex club in Centennial and its landlord say the club has closed and therefore the city should stop suing them. But the City of Centennial is saying not so fast.
On Feb. 6, Centennial alleged in court that a bland and beige office building at 6886 S. Yosemite St. was home to The Office Social Club, a sex club. The Office’s website, which was taken down after BusinessDen asked about it Feb. 7, promoted 16 themed rooms for rent. The rooms were indiscreetly outfitted with beds and sex toys, according to the website.
The city sued The Office as well as Price Holdings, which owns the office building. It accused them of violating zoning laws by running a sex-oriented business in a commercial area.
Price Holdings and The Office have both denied that The Office was a sex club. And in a court document May 24, they questioned why the city’s case hasn’t been closed.
“On March 1, 2023, Price Holdings notified The Office that it was terminating its lease effective March 19, 2023. The Office is no longer a lessor,” attorneys for Price Holdings wrote.
Ten days after The Office was evicted, the City of Centennial entered into an agreement with it and Price Holdings “that fully resolved all issues subject to this lawsuit,” they added.
Attorneys for The Office, while still maintaining that it was never a sex club, wrote that it moved out March 19 and dissolved. They also believe the March 29 agreement closes the case.

Centennial disagrees. Its attorneys wrote May 24 that there has not been a settlement. They want Arapahoe County District Court Judge Elizabeth Volz to schedule a three-day trial and decide whether the defendants ran a sex business that broke zoning laws.
The city said it “is not asserting a claim for money damages at this time, but has requested that the court award plaintiff its costs, including reasonable attorney fees, and interest.”
Centennial denied BusinessDen’s request for a copy of the March agreement in question.
The city is represented by attorneys Jennifer Madsen and Robert Widner with the Centennial law firm Widner Juran.
The Office and Price Holdings are represented by attorneys Jean Smith Gonnell and William Baker with the Denver law firm Gonnell Law.
Price Holdings’ office building at 6886 S. Yosemite St. previously housed a tech company, Accucode, which was founded by Kevin Price. He also managed The Office’s LLC.
