A tiny red building in Five Points is getting a Nordic touch.
Jim Self purchased the 1,000-square-foot building at 2526 Welton St. last month for $275,000, or $270 per square foot, according to public records. Signage on the building shows that it will soon be the home of Bøtik, a Nordic spa concept.
Self did not respond to a request for comment. He previously ran an outdoor spa in Estonia’s Lahemaa National Park, according to his LinkedIn profile. Self also founded Ohku, which sells wood-fired concrete hot tubs.
Bøtik’s website bills the concept as a “modern third space where heat meets cold and people meet each other.” It advertises a “thermal circuit” with a 180- to 200-degree sauna and a 35- to 40-degree cold plunge.
The seller was Renee Cousins King. The building had been a family asset for decades, records show, and most recently was home to a nonprofit clothing store for homeless people.
King could not be reached for comment, and her broker, Mark Pyms of Panorama Commercial Group, did not respond to a request for comment.
King’s father, Charles Cousins, bequeathed his Five Points properties to her when he died in 2009, according to the Denver Post. Cousins was a well-known real estate investor and philanthropist in the neighborhood.
The Welton Street building is just off the Regional Transportation District’s L line and next door to 2510 Welton St., where neighborhood developer Haroun Cowans is planning to construct income-restricted housing.
