Not a permanent victory. But a victory worth marking.
The concept plan to demolish Asia Center has officially been withdrawn from Denver city records.
For Tony of Tony Pho — and every tenant who’s been holding their breath since April — that means a little more time. A little more sleep. A little more space to figure out what comes next.
This doesn’t mean the fight is over. New plans will come. The landlord still decides what happens to this corner of Federal. But what the last few months proved is that this community is paying attention — and we’re not going quietly.
18,000+ signatures. Local and national press. Neighbors who’d never met showing up for businesses they grew up walking past.
That’s the story. Keep watching this one. Thanks to and for covering this story.
