seasons of The Real World that Bunim-Murray Productions purchased for
the filming of the series. Bunim-Murray had to seek permission from
the city to temporarily rezone it from its commercial status to
residential. The purchase of the building included extensive
renovations, including the addition of an Endless Pool. On December 1,
2006 the building was sold for $3.3 million to Steve and Shane
Alexander, partners in The Alexander Group, LLC. The sale included all
of the furnishings that were used for the filming of the series,
except for the artwork, which had been on loan. The Real World: Denver Top Movies & Young Movies
