These Denver restaurateurs are planning to redevelop La Veta's historic elementary school into housing, retails space and maybe a brewery.
Kayvan Khalatbari and Lauren Roberts are living La Veta loca.
“Denver is turning into just another generic, big city in a lot of ways,” Khalatbari said. “There’s a comedian who jokes that you know Denver is becoming like all the other cities because it has the best hot chicken from L.A. or the best donuts from Portland. Southern Colorado is a place to reinvent yourself and to do it with other people in a place that’s not going to run you and your pocketbook dry.
The pair declined to disclose the specific amount they’re set to pay. A new $42 million school has already been built for La Veta’s upcoming school year. “It’s like everything else in my life, you know, I never made a pizza or ran a restaurant before Sexy Pizza, and I never really did anything before I finally just did them,” Khalatbari said.Roberts and Khalatbari are under contract to buy this La Veta school.
Beyond that, nothing is set in stone. They’re considering opening a brewery in the main school building, which dates to 1911, and turning the seven classrooms into either retail or residential space. Roberts said she’s planning to open a Watercourse cafe and prep kitchen. So, he “took a soul searching journey” in his truck around the Southwest. He drove for weeks, looking for a smaller town where he could set up a vacation home and “give my girls some perspective outside of Denver,” he said.Roberts is buying this nearly 10,000-square-foot warehouse in Trinidad for a wholesale vegan and vegetarian business.
