Staff: Pinos tenant cleared bankruptcy; Lifetime Fitness grading permit in place
Summary
City Manager Michael Penny told the board that the tenant space formerly linked to Pinos is out of the bankruptcy hold, the grease interceptor was upgraded, and a new upscale Italian tenant has signed a lease; staff also reported Lifetime Fitness has a grading permit and expects heavy earthwork and an early‑2027 opening.
City Manager Michael Penny gave several staff updates. On the restaurant site formerly associated with Pinos, Penny said the owner regained control after bankruptcy, the tenant upgraded a noncompliant grease interceptor and a new tenant (an upscale Italian restaurant) has signed a lease; staff expect interior tenant improvements and a liquor-license filing before opening in several months.
Penny described the grease-interceptor work as significant: "It was a very aromatic day when they pulled that thing out. I think you could smell it all the way to King Soopers," he said, underscoring the compliance work that was completed.
On Lifetime Fitness, Penny said the project holds a grading permit and mitigation plans; heavy dirt work is imminent and the developer has estimated more than 1,000 truckloads of dirt will be moved as the site is cut and graded. Penny said the building shell is prefabricated and the developer expects an opening in early 2027.
Staff answered board questions about timelines and agreed to pass along public filings and liquor-license notices when they are received.
