El Centro buys building

El Centro Su Teatro paid $1.35 million last week for a building at 215 S. Santa Fe Drive it plans to redevelop as a theater.

The Latino-run nonprofit is launching a $3.5 million capital campaign to pay for renovations for the Su Teatro Cultural and Performing Arts Center, which will include large indoor and outdoor performance spaces, a smaller black- box studio theater, gallery and office space.

El Centro Su Teatro received a $1.5 million loan from the city and county of Denver to help with the project.
