1. Not flexible: Colorado Mills Mall sues yoga studio that closed early (denverpost.com) — A major tenant dispute at Colorado Mills in Lakewood could reshape part of the mall, as the landlord sues former yoga studio Align for more than $500,000 in unpaid and future rent after it closed in May. Court filings detail years of financial struggles, lease amendments, and earlier pandemic-era complaints about restrictions on fitness businesses, while Colorado Mills' broader vacancy situation remains unclear.
