In today’s Denver Post, Margaret Jackson reports that local development firm Sage Hospitality is planning on occupying 32,000 SF of office space on the top three floors of Evan Makovsky’s still-under-renovation Fontius/Steel building. Congratulations to Sage and Makovsky for the deal! It’s great to keep a local HQ in the heart of Downtown.

Since the Fontius name has been associated for such a long time with a run-down building, I can understand why Mr. Makovsky wants people to refer to the historic structure as the Steel Building instead, after its original occupant, Steel’s Department Store. But Steel’s hasn’t been in the building for more than fifty years and they don’t exist anymore anyway, so why not give the building a more relevant moniker like, the Sage Building?
