• The building that once housed McDonald’s at 408 S. Mill St. sold for $3.29 million Sept. 26, according to property records. McDonald’s Corp., which bought the building for $750,000 in 1983, sold it to Rubey Park LLC.

Aspen developer Bill Boehringer is the principal behind Rubey Park LLC, according to a recent Aspen Times article that reported he was in negotiations with a tenant that would serve healthy food from the location.

The Pitkin County Assessor’s Office’s most recent actual value of the property is $3.68 million.
