Centennial takes court action against alleged sex club

BY TAYLER SHAW TSHAW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The City of Centennial has filed a lawsuit against the owners of The Office, a business it alleges is an adult swingers’ club, for operating a sexually-oriented business where it is not permitted in the city.

A tenant of the building at 6886 S. Yosemite St., The Office described itself as a private club, according to the city’s civil complaint, which is a legal document that initiates a lawsuit. However, the city alleges The Office is actually operating a sexually-oriented business that, for a fee, offers people a space to engage in sexual activities, according to the court document.

The city claims the spaces in The Office were constructed for the purpose of members engaging in sexual activities. It alleges that items provided in the spaces include condoms, massage tables, beds, bondage devices and even a chair that has a sex toy on it. The word “sex” is also allegedly written on a ceiling, the city claimed.

Sexually-oriented businesses are permitted in some areas of Centennial, but not where The Office is located, according to the lawsuit.

As a result, the alleged use of the property violates the city’s land development code, which prohibits sexually-oriented businesses in any location except for properties located between Interstate 25 on the west; Havana Street on the east; Costilla Avenue on the south; and Arapahoe Road on the north, per the lawsuit.

According to the lawsuit, The Office began to operate around August 2022. The city delivered a cease and desist order to The Office on Aug. 5, 2022, which the city claimed it has not received a response to.

The city filed its complaint with the Arapahoe County District Court on Feb. 6, naming the defendants as The Office and Price Holdings LLC, which the city claims owns the property at 6886 S. Yosemite St.
