Lumen Technologies’ 55-acre Broomfield campus failed to sell at auction casting uncertainty over the future of the sprawling suburban site The four-building campus at 1025 Eldorado Blvd. which includes 792K SF of Class-A office space and a 9.5-acre undeveloped parcel was put up for sale through an online auction platform with a $6.5M starting bid The reserve price wasn't met, and the listing has since been removed from property search site LoopNet, according to the Denver Business Journal The company didn't disclose the reserve price or share details about next steps and Lumen Global Issues Director Mark Molzen told the DBJ it will “continue to explore options for the property.” Signs of trouble cropped up in March when Lumen told the DBJ it was delaying the auction which was first scheduled for late February The site was originally built as a headquarters for Level 3 Communications CenturyLink acquired Level 3 in 2017 after its merger with Denver-based Qwest in 2011 Lumen, which still has 4,700 employees in Colorado, has significantly scaled back its office footprint amid widespread remote work. Last year, it sold a 63-acre office property in Littleton for $50M. That site is now being redeveloped with a Costco and retail center The failed auction comes as the office market struggles to shake off pandemic-era leasing woes. Vacancy across the metro hit 26.8% in Q1, according to CBRE’s first-quarter Denver office report The northwest submarket saw negative net absorption of 96K SF CBRE said the combination of negative absorption and a 170-basis-point year-over-year vacancy increase is creating “financial pressures” that could lead to more foreclosures and loan defaults You are subscribed to the Bisnow Denver Newsletter or click here to copy link to clipboard We will email you a link to reset your password Upcoming regulations in the European Union require us to show this pop-up and ask you to agree to keep using Bisnow.com We want to take 15 seconds to tell you what's going on: How to watch Colorado high school girls soccer: Broomfield vs May 6Data SkriveBroomfield High School will host Thunder Ridge High School at 6 p.m How to watch Thunderridge vs. Broomfield girls soccerThunderridge and Broomfield will face off on Tuesday, May 6, at 6 p.m. MT.

culminating with a silver medal at the 2022 NRL Championships.  Kelly has an accomplished track record as part of the coaching staff of Team Alberta at the 2015 Canada Winter Games and as head coach at the 2023 Canada Winter Games He was recently announced as the coach of Team Alberta once again for the 2027 games Kelly has been part of three Alberta Provincial Championship teams and has international experience as part of the staff for Team USA at the 2014 World Ringette Championships.  they will be doing so as representatives of the smallest community in the NRL’s Western Conference all play in cities with much larger populations that have been supporting their teams for years Kelly believes that having an NRL team in Cochrane will be a boon for the sport at the local level and for the community as a whole.  “I think it’s huge for here in town,” he said they’re not only the best of the best on the ice All the athletes [in the NRL] give back to the community and we’re going to be doing the same thing here.” who has worked alongside other members of the committee for years to bring an NRL team to Cochrane said that their belief was that if you can grow the sport by introducing more teams into the league the athletes will grow in skill and number alongside it.  “All of these girls have hope they can play at the highest level,” Rice said the girls would just finish out at U19 and then they have nowhere to go but now there is a place where they can keep playing for the next 10 to 15 years.”  Rice said that 10 years ago there was just a single U19 ringette team in all of southern Alberta As the sport continues to grow at the community and national level more opportunities are presented for players to continue playing the sport they love.  the Rage will have tryouts to round out its roster It’s suspected that most of the roster will be made up of girls who are at universities “Skill on the ice is important,” said Leigh Sauer the Rage assistant coach who has spent the last two seasons with the University of Calgary Ringette team A coach for different Calgary associations since 2005 Sauer won six Alberta Provincial Championships and four Western Canadian Championships before joining the Dinos staff.  we’re really trying to build a culture here and so we’re looking for good people and good teammates and a bunch of athletes that can play for one another and not just be on the team [We want] them to be good role models for the community.” Team tryouts have been scheduled for the end of August with the roster expected to be announced shortly thereafter a Broomfield man accused of killing his wife in 2023 is in the hands of a jury following tense closing arguments on Wednesday Daniel Bartholomew Krug, 44, was arrested on December 16, 2023, two days after the death of his wife, Kristil Krug, 43 the prosecution detailed a disturbing narrative surrounding Kristil Krug's death including allegations of harassment and manipulation leading up to the tragic incident Daniel Krug pretended to be an ex-boyfriend of Kristil's and sent her threatening text messages and emails months before her death The messages made Kristil fear for her safety and that of her children A police investigation began after Kristil reported the messages in October 2023 Kristil had not seen her ex-boyfriend in over two decades reached out several times to Kristil with the desire to meet She told authorities that the messages would cease when she refused to respond Prosecutors argue that the couple's marriage was deteriorating and Daniel Krug harbored resentment toward Kristil for refusing to stay with him They claim this resentment transformed into rage culminating in her death as police began to close in on the troubling situation “This was about Dan losing control,” said prosecutor Kate Armstrong with the 17th Judicial District Attorney's Office and that resentment had turned to rage by the time we get to December 14 Think about what he did to her; you don’t do that to somebody you love." The defense contends there is no concrete evidence linking Daniel Krug to Kristil's death They emphasized that no blood or physical evidence was found on his clothing or vehicle The defense characterized the police investigation as flawed suggesting a disconnect between the evidence and the prosecution’s claims “There is an enormous disconnect between the physical evidence and the circumstantial picture the prosecution wants you to believe,” argued defense attorney Phillip Geigle The jury was dismissed for the day Wednesday evening and will continue deliberations Thursday morning Denver7 is committed to making a difference in our community by standing up for what's right lending a helping hand and following through on promises Broomfield’s 1stBank Center is coming down — gradually The city has begun demolishing the publicly funded a process that it said will take six months and cost roughly $3 million “Our work in the coming year toward the future development will include the Request for Proposals (RFP) process to bring in a developer that will create something to attract residents and businesses alike,” Broomfield spokeswoman Julie Story said the venue opened in 2006 but constantly underperformed expectations Its minor league hockey team folded that same year Originally built with roughly $60 million in bonds the arena was able to cover only payments starting in 2020 owns the property and will have spent $135 million to pay off the bond But the venue put a strain on more than just city finances Broomfield dedicated 15 of its 26 police officers to secure events and fielded 738 emergency medical calls from the arena since 2016 A single EDM concert in February 2023 yielded 79 medical responses multiple drug-related arrests and a number of neighborhood noise disturbance complaints The Broomfield City Council voted unanimously in May 2023 to nix its agreement with the arena operator The last event at the center was held in September 2023 “What the police have gone through at some of these events is just appalling I find this objectionable to continue this as these events have been going,” Councilwoman Jean Lim said at the May vote Funding of the demolition was approved in late September of this year Matt Geiger covers commercial real estate and development for BusinessDen He joined the newsroom in October 2023 after interning in the summer of 2022 © 2025 BusinessDen - All Rights Reserved Update your browser to view this website correctly. Update my browser now × Deon BroomfieldTitle:Passing Game Coordinator/SafetiesEmail:deonb@iastate.eduPhone:515-294-6721BioDeon Broomfield, a former Iowa State star on the football field, is in his fifth season as the Cyclone safeties coach. He added pass game coordinator to his job duties in 2023. Broomfield, who has nine seasons coaching defensive backs at the collegiate level, spent a season as a defensive assistant with the Houston Texans prior to his return to Ames. The Cyclone safeties were one of the nation's best collective units in 2024 with all three starters earning recognition from the Big 12 coaches, led by Malik Verdon being named an All-Big 12 second-team performer. Jeremiah Cooper and Beau Freyler were honorable mention selections. The group played a significant role in what amounted to the greatest single season in program history. Iowa State posted an 11-3 overall record, the first double-digit win season for the school, and reached the Dr Pepper Big 12 Championship game for the second time. ISU defeated No. 15 Miami in the Pop-Tarts Bowl. Iowa State shut out Houston, recording the first conference road shutout in program history since 1971. In 2023, Broomfield's safety group had 11 interceptions as the Cyclones finished with 16 as a team, which ranked 10th nationally and second in the Big 12 Conference. Iowa State's 31 interceptions the last two seasons (2023-24) are tied for eighth-most nationally during the time. Cooper picked off five passes and was a First Team All-Big 12 selection, while Freyler added three interceptions and was a Second Team All-Big 12 pick. Verdon chipped was an honorable mention All-Big 12 honoree and had two interceptions, as the safety group anchored a defensive unit that was second in the Big 12 in total defense (363.2) and third in scoring defense (22.8). The Cyclones returned to a bowl game in 2023, earning a berth in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. The 2022 Cyclone defense was among the nation’s elite, leading the Big 12 Conference and ranking fourth nationally in total defense (285.6). The Cyclones were just the third unit in conference history to lead the league in total defense, scoring defense (20.2), rushing defense (107.3) and passing defense (178.2). Broomfield coached Anthony Johnson Jr. to Second Team All-Big 12 honors after spending his first four seasons at cornerback. Freyler earned All-Big 12 honorable mention in his sophomore campaign. In his first season coaching the Cyclones, ISU qualified for the Cheez-It Bowl behind one of its best defenses in school history. ISU was third in the league in defensive scoring average (20.5) and was second in the Big 12 and ninth nationally in total defense (310.5), the lowest output by a Cyclone team since 1984. The Cyclones also led the league and ranked 11th nationally in passing defense (187.8). Three Cyclone safeties earned All-Big 12 recognition in 2021 in Isheem Young (2nd team), Greg Eisworth II (honorable mention) and Freyler (honorable mention). Freyler had a fantastic true freshman season under Broomfield’s tutelage, racking up 41 tackles, including 15 vs. Clemson in the Cheez-It Bowl. From 2017-19, Broomfield mentored the cornerbacks at Indiana State. Rondale Green was an All-MVC performer and Kaelb Newman ranked second in the MVFC and ninth nationally in forced fumbles (3) under his watch. He was the cornerbacks coach at Western Illinois in 2016 and the safeties coach at Carthage College (Wis.) in 2015. Broomfield was a standout defensive back for the Cyclones from 2010-13, tallying 133 tackles, four forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries, 16 pass breakups and three interceptions in his career. He started 18 games in his career, including all 12 games in his senior season in 2013. He was fourth on the team in tackles (57) and led the team in pass breakups (6) in his final campaign. Broomfield is remembered for two significant plays in his Cyclone career. In Iowa State’s upset win over No. 2 Oklahoma State in 2011, Broomfield made the key third-down stop to force the Cowboys into a missed field goal attempt late in the fourth quarter. ISU eventually won the game, the school’s only victory over a team ranked in the top-two nationally, in double overtime. In his senior season, Iowa State staged its largest comeback in school history (24 points) in a 52-44 triple overtime win at West Virginia. Broomfield made the final tackle of the game, stopping the Mountaineer two yards short of the goal line on fourth down. The Palm Bay, Fla., native earned his degree from Iowa State in 2013 and spent the 2014 season as a member of the Buffalo Bills practice squad. He attended the 2024 American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) 35 Under 35 Coaches Leadership Institute.

finding a missing 45-year-old woman Abbie Heffner is described as a white female with brown eyes Heffner was last seen walking away from her home in the 900 block of Hemlock Way at 2:47 a.m CBI said Heffner is known to have developmental disabilities and medical problems Anyone who sees Heffner is asked to call the Broomfield Police Department at 303-438-6400 — A Broomfield man convicted of killing his wife after stalking her while posing as her ex-boyfriend was sentenced Friday to life in prison without the possibility of parole The mandatory sentence came a day after jurors found Daniel Bartholomew Krug, 44, guilty of first-degree murder Krug was also sentenced to eight years for the stalking charges and 18 months for the impersonation charge All are set to run consecutive to one another Feeling like he was losing control of his marriage to his wife Kristil – who was preparing to divorce him and was working toward fully custody of their children – prosecutors said Wednesday that Krug decided to play “puppet master” over his family by scaring his wife and then trying to protect her from the fake stalking to win her back An investigation by police into the threatening messages Kristil was receiving from Krug while he impersonated an ex-boyfriend in late 2023 led Krug to believe authorities were closing in on him and he started to plan how he would kill his wife They said Krug waited for her to return to their Broomfield home on Dec after taking two of their children to school and then knocked her unconscious and stabbed her in the heart He was arrested two days later arguing he could not have committed the crime based on shopping receipts license plate readers and lack of flight records that showed he was nowhere near the couple’s Broomfield home at the time of the crime the defense argued there was no physical evidence linking Krug to the violent killing noting that there was no blood found in his car or his clothes which his daughter said were the same he was wearing when he drove her to the bus stop that morning though partial DNA from an unknown person was found on her neck prosecutors said Krug was searching online for how hard to hit somebody to cause unconsciousness on his work computer just 17 hours before the killing The Associated Press contributed to this report Photo Credit: (Dennis Pleuss/Jeffco Sports

defensive scores in the first half to open up a 38-0 lead at halftime in the semifinal game “Starting with that stop on our 1-yard line I think that is what set the tone and let our offense drive down the field and score.” on fourth-down Dakota Ridge junior Landon Kalsbeck was stopped just short of the goal line to turn the ball over on downs Broomfield kept the momentum going with an 11-play 99-yard scoring drive capped off with a 17-yard touchdown run by senior Elliot Less What a response with a 99-yard drive,” Broomfield coach Robert O’Brien said after Broomfield stopped Dakota Ridge on the fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line Broomfield senior Mikhail Benner got the first of two defensive scores when Dakota Ridge junior quarterback Kellen Behrendsen couldn’t throw the ball out-of-bounds and Benner intercepted it and strolled into the end zone with 3:02 left in the first quarter I don’t get a lot of targets during the regular season,” Benner said of his pick-6 that put Broomfield up 14-0 “That ball got thrown to me and I just jumped it Broomfield quarterback Darien Jackson’s 1-yard touchdown run on the opening drive of the second quarter pushed the lead to 21-0 A second defensive score where senior Maverick Scarpella scooped up a fumble and ran 22 yards for a touchdown gave Broomfield a 28-0 lead midway through the second quarter “We had an awesome week of practice,” Benner said “Monday through Friday we took practice seriously you can feel it,” Dakota Ridge coach Jeremiah Behrendsen said Sometimes the kids want it so bad that just adds snow.” 73-yard touchdown scoring drive coming out of the break induced a running clock midway through the third quarter with Broomfield holding a 45-0 lead You win games in the trenches,” Benner said We’ll celebrate

Think about the absolute nightmare and hell that he made the last few months of her life the fact that she wouldn't be with him — this was about Dan losing control.” Defense attorney Phillip Geigle then took his turn for closing arguments “The evidence in this case says something far different than what the prosecution has told you," he said He went into detail about a Broomfield detective on the case noting inconsistencies and saying he was "deliberately untruthful" in some of his statements He also questioned the work that was done at the crime scene and mentioned a bloody footprint in one of the prosecution's exhibits "This was present when law enforcement and EMT arrived," he said Geigle said Daniel Krug also had no physical evidence on his clothing and evidence indicated that Kristil Krug's body was moved He questioned how Daniel Krug did not have blood on his clothing if he was accused of moving her body “And I will look at each and every one of you Stephanie Fritts with the 17th Judicial District Attorney's Office addressed the jury She asked who had stalked Kristil Krug for months before her death who had the motive and who had the opportunity Daniel Krug was searching online for how hard to hit somebody to cause unconsciousness on his work computer Fritts argued that it was easy for Daniel Krug to flip over his wife without getting blood on him because the blood was in a concentrated area near her head She also argued this is why there was no bloody footprint when he left the scene and why he did not have any blood on his clothing or in his car “You think this man who's been planning and stalking his wife for months is going to be so sloppy on the crime scene?” Fritts asked the jury She also said that Kristil Krug always accessed her home's Nest cameras from the web browser the app was downloaded onto her phone and all of the cameras except the one over the garage were turned off to serve as his alibi He had also used her phone to text his cell phone a question where his phone data showed he did not move for five minutes — plenty of time to dispose of evidence Fritts said — before heading to Java Island for a coffee She argued that he wanted people to see him acting normal but questioned why he had told authorities that he left his house late for work that morning because of diarrhea She concluded by saying that his decision to kill his wife was not hasty or impulsive but was rather deliberate and had a cover-up planned as well The jury was then let out of the courtroom to begin their deliberations at 11:10 a.m Harvest Hill includes one-, two-, and three-bedroom units and will be home to individuals and families who earn between 30% and 70% of the area median income.
