Shanahan building "megamansion"

[DomCasual]

I feel almost dirty posting a link to a Penny Parker story. But I thought this was interesting, in light of the supposed "cost cutting" firings yesterday.

Don't kill the messenger here. I think he has every right to do whatever he wants with his money. And I don't think there's any proof that the firings were cost cutting in nature. I'm just posting this to fan the flames, er, try to be informative. :)

PARKER: Shanny dream house

Need further proof that Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan is staying put and sitting pretty? He and wife Peggy have sold their Cherry Hills home for $16 million -- a record high price in the metro area -- and recently broke ground on a megamansion that will take a year to complete.

Shanahan declined to discuss details, but, through Broncos spokesman Jim Saccomano, confirmed that the house is under construction.

So here's what I've gleaned from sources, some of whom asked to remain anonymous:

Their existing home sold on Jan. 19, 2007, in a private transaction to a friend who used the name 20 Cherry Hills LLC. Its appraised value by the Arapahoe County Assessor's office is value was $6.5 million.

It includes three Jacuzzis, an 80-square-foot steam room, a 108-square-foot sauna, a 2,299-square-foot heated garage, a 2,100-square-foot swimming pool, a 165-square-foot hot tub. It was built in 2000 and has slate mission tile on the roof.

Two buildings are on the land, one with three bedrooms and six fireplaces; the other with two bedrooms.

The first building has 7,733 square feet, a 7,272-square-foot open porch, a 2,857-square-foot terrace and a 2,353-square-foot wood balcony. The second home has 1,089 square feet.

Some deets on the new abode:

The new place is a football throw from the old house but on a bigger lot with more privacy.

Rumor is that the new home will be 30,000 square feet. "Every time you hear the rumor, the house gets bigger," said one spy.

The land formerly was owned by Janet Elway, who, I'm told, got it as part of her divorce settlement from Hall of Famer John Elway.

Peggy is an interior decorator who is designing the new digs with a friend.

"Peggy loves doing big projects like this," another spy said. "I think she needs a new project."

Utter decadence.

[bronco militia]

maybe shanny invested in gold

[bronco militia]

and good for him.....

no one should feal ashamed of the things they've earned in life

[Orange_Beard]

maybe shanny invested in gold

He did, them he cut him.

[El Guapo]

he woo'd players in the past at his current digs, Im sure he's making the next one even more accommodating. 300,000 sq feet?! :notworthy

[Hotrod]

The guy is just envious of my life that all. Nothing wrong with that.

Didn't Penny have a crush on Jake at one time?

[CBF1]

16 million in Denver.... that is like 30 million in SoCal. No wonder Bowlen is hurting, Coach is making a boatload of cash :)

[Hotrod]

He did, them he cut him.

LOL

[NASurfer]

and good for him.....

no one should feal ashamed of the things they've earned in life
Yup.

I love HER timing in release of the article. I don't live in Colorado but I guess she's one of those that stir **** up for the sake of selling newspapers right?

[worm]

Good for him.

The players always seemed in awe of his last home during the post training camp shindigs. This new one should rock.

[DukeWoody]

So Mason and his crew didn't get fired...they are just being relocated to do general labour on Shanny's Mega Mansion...Ahhh now i get it...

[MileHighMania]

Shanahan has earned it.

[Beantown Bronco]

I've never heard of a $10 million difference between the sale price and the assessed value......especially when the sale price is greater by the $10 million and the transaction is between friends. There must be a typo there.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

Honestly...Shanahan should be spending 18 hours a day at the office considering the way his team has performed over the last two seasons.

Why does he need such luxury? Is he getting a little too content in Denver?

The Broncos might be better if Shanny spent a little more time watching film and a little less time in his sauna.

[TheReverend]

I wonder if by having the players/prospects to his house he can write a percentage off as business related...

Im sure he watches film in his sauna... wait a second. STFU. when is the last time your team won a SB? Get outta here.

Honestly... you shouldn't be spending 18 hours on the internet fawning over how large Shanny's balls are.

His pool and his garage are both bigger than most people's houses. Good for him.

[Hotrod]

I was wondering if my garage was that big if I'd still fill it so full of crap that I could not get my truck into it.

Sounds like this is more of a project for his wife than anything. I've heard from numerous sources, including a buddy who interned with the Broncos in 06, that Shanahan spends crazy hours at Dove Valley so I imagine he isn't craving the new house to chill out and waste time.

As far as the money, sounds like the Shanahan's have made some good investments. He makes a great salary, but it's not like he's the highest paid coach in the league. More likely he's a guy who's saved his money, made smart investments, knows he's not going anywhere and wants to take advantage of the market.

[Punisher]

Megamansion eh?I wonder if he would put a secret path in his Mansion or a grotto or maybe a Bat Cave

[lookin' glass]

I don't care about his house, I want to know what kind of candy he's giving out at Halloween.

[rugbythug]

Of course you would. Those Betamax porn movies aren't going to watch themselves.

I really need to get those transfered to disc.

[BroncoBuff]

I don't think there's any proof that the firings were cost cutting in nature.
Why does everybody keep saying this? Not just you, Dom, but numerous posters keep making this mistake ...

The firings DEFINITELY WERE COST CUTTING MEASURES! Team COO Joe Ellis said this very clearly in an interview, that they were "not performance related, but were the result of the realities of business efficiencies."

Hello?

[jonny1]

I don't care about his house, I want to know what kind of candy he's giving out at Halloween.

Great reference!!! LOL

Wonder how many people here will get it?

[BroncoBuff]

Joe Ellis, the Broncos' chief operating officer said, "our industry is like many others, where downsizing and layoffs are required to make the business more effective."

Joe Ellis notified employees of the cutbacks with the message, "It is important to note these decisions come at the expense of personal pain to individuals whose jobs were eliminated for reasons of business efficiency — not on the basis of performance."
http://www.denverpost.com/broncos/ci_8629051

[BroncoBuff]

We should look at his place on Google Maps satellite .... anybody have the street address?

[bronco militia]

He did, them he cut him.

Ha! Ha! Ha!

ZING!

[telluride]

Great reference!!! LOL

Wonder how many people here will get it?

Just the old timers. Of course, the real question is whether this is an inside reference to the Elway candy watch, or the great clip of a disguised Favre trick or treating at Holmgren's house.

I'm surprised there was no mention of the underground shuttle to the Valley, the hypno-chamber for incoming free agents or the IMAX game film room.

Oh well, still good for Mike.

And you might do better to spend a lot more time in the gym and less time pining for attention in threads ultimately unrelated to your interests.

[orange crusher]

Utter decadence.

No need to be jealous or angry just because Shanny doesn't live in his mom's basement.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

And you might do better to spend a lot more time in the gym.

It's interesting you said that. I was pumping iron this afternoon while leering wantonly at high school girls.

[Houshyamama]

It's interesting you said that. I was pumping iron this afternoon while leering wantonly at high school girls.

By the way, I haven't had a soda in three days. Or a twinkie. Ha!

[Blueflame]

Given the number of hours Shanahan reportedly spends working during the football season, he'll barely even see the nice new house. Since his wife is an interior decorator, it's pretty easy to surmise that the new house is more for her than for him... keeps her happy and gives her a new decorating project to keep her busy, too. Win/win.

[elsid13]

Come on Bob, what did you actually do? Did you get on the trend mill? Did you hit the free weight? And hopefully you gotten complete off soda and are staying away for the junk food.

[orinjkrush]

i am curious why, when people make their big money, they go out and build castles? some kind of feudal lord DNA?

oh well, good for him. it should employ about a 100 vassals.

[Houshyamama]

By the way, I haven't had a soda in three days. Or a twinkie. Ha!

You're looking for sympathy? You incite anger with your general douchbaggery, then play the pitiful little dog card when people start to make fun of you? Are you this desperate for friends? Here's a suggestion, don't be an a-hole and you won't get made fun of for being an overweight virgin, still living with his parents. Its not even a rival fan dislike we have for you, you're just a douchbag. **** off.

[Blueflame]

Come on Bob, what did you actually do? Did you get on the trend mill? Did you hit the free weight? And hopefully you gotten complete off soda and are staying away for the junk food.

My guess is he "worked" the machine at the center right.....

[Bob's your Information Minister]

You're looking for sympathy?

Nope. Way to overreact, though.

[BroncoBuff]

I'm surprised nobody in this thread has gotten to what appears to be the true core of this story: Mike's not building this thing, he's probably fairly indifferent to it. It's his WIFE, the "interior designer," who needs something to do with all her time, and all Mike's money.

[BroncoBuff]

Sorry, montrose figured it out ... ::)

[Bob's your Information Minister]

Come on Bob, what did you actually do? Did you get on the trend mill? Did you hit the free weight?

I hit all the weight machines (6 or 7 of 'em) and did some free weight stuff. I've been doing cardio in the morning around the neighborhood. My dear sister is a fitness and nut is acting as my personal trainer.

And hopefully you gotten complete off soda and are staying away for the junk food.

Depends on your definition of junk food I guess. I don't eat fast food hardly at all and haven't for years. Occasionally (maybe once every two weeks) I'll grab a quesadilla or something from Taco Bell ore one of the dollar menu burgers from Wendy's.

I've always been a pretty healthy eater, but I drink 2-3 sodas everyday and never exercised. I mean at all. I'm definitely changing that.

Guess I'll look into black coffee for my caffeine fix. :(

The only bad news is I'll have to buy a new Priest Holmes jersey in a few months.

When my wife was bored of sitting at home, I told her to get an f-in job. This guy just builds a freakin' castle for her to keep herself busy.

Why doesn't she decorate someone else's house and she'll keep herself occupied.

If their budget can accommodate the expense of a new house, why shouldn't they have it? And according to the article in the OP (assuming it's correct), they just sold the old house for $10 million more than its assessed value....

[MechanicalBull]

When you click the link to the article there is a photo of Shanahan's old house that he just sold. Now I have a question though. What is that green thing(not the arrow in the upper left) on top of his house? Is that a leprachaun? It's almost right in the middle of the pic.

happens all the time here in NY, assessed value is usually applied to a ratio determined by township to determine property taxes. Often the assessed value is a fraction of the true market value, it's too costly to reassess every time the market fluctuates

[colonelbeef]

The Seinfeld and Stern houses are their summer cottages in the Hamptons near where I am. Seinfeld bought that house for $32 million. I repeat, these are only their summer homes. The market on the east end of long island is out of this world expensive.

Bizarre. I understand how that can be the case in certain markets, but not nowadays with home values plummeting. In Massachusetts, they reassess homes every few years and currently most homes' market values are actually less than their assessed values.

From Wikipidia:

"One thing few fans know about Mike Shanahan is that he's almost maniacally driven by superstitions. For St. Patrick's Day in 1986, at his wife's (Peggy) request, he put a six foot inflatable leprechaun on top of the family's Parker, Colorado home. The afternoon he put it up, Shanahan shot his first-ever hole-in-one at Englewood, Colorado's Cherry Hills Country Club. Shanahan never took the leprechaun down. When the original fell into disrepair, he replaced it with a new one. He claims he's lost track of how many leprechauns he's purchased over the past twenty years."

That's crazy. I wonder if he dresses it up as Santa on Christmas.

all of which is speculation but it is interesting if he is spending his time like that. most coaches when in this league eat breathe and sleep football 24/7/365 especially if they have had a couple bad seasons

happens all the time here in NY, assessed value is usually applied to a ratio determined by township to determine property taxes.

That's a 150% tax hike? Who pays 10 million dollars more than the asessed value of the house? Who's smart enough to get that rich yet not smart enough to know what kind of deal he's getting on a house he's buying?

[Taco John]

I'm sure that it's already been said in this thread... But in case it hasn't: this is a pretty sure sign that Shanahan will be with the team for years to come. You would think he'd have a long conversation with Pat about his job security before putting roots into the ground *this* deep.

Actually, I'd disagree with Taco here. I don't think an iota of meaning can be read into Shanny's real estate transactions, either as a portend of his job security, or lack thereof. It's just a personal real estate deal -- nothing more, nothing less.

[Bronx33]

So if hes is on the way out his plan was to build a brand new mansion in colorado so he would have to commute or buy another house/mansion to wherever to coach another team?

You're nuts. Shanahan isn't going to buy a huge mansion if he's a year or two away from losing his job. Further, Bowlen wouldn't be carrying so much of Shanahan's water with the media if he had any plans on releasing him. You should just go ahead and face it: Shanahan is here for the long haul.

If Shanny was fired or released, can we be sure he would even go right back into coaching?

I would he would be burned out....

So if hes is on the way out his plan was to build a brand new mansion in colorado so he would have to commute or buy another house/mansion to wherever to coach another team?

Hell, if he made $10 mil on the last house, why not build another? As for assessed values for prop tax that was probably based on the comps for his zip, s/f. If the comps were at $6 mil, then that is what the prop tax assessment is based on. I bet his neighbors aren't too pleased that the new comps will have to take into consideration the $16 mil sale price.

The Shanahans bought the 3.5-acre lot where they are building the home from Janet Elway for $4 million .... ??? she in real estate ???
Apparently it was part of the divorce settlement with John Elway.

From Wikipidia:

"One thing few fans know about Mike Shanahan is that he's almost maniacally driven by superstitions. For St. Patrick's Day in 1986, at his wife's (Peggy) request, he put a six foot inflatable leprechaun on top of the family's Parker, Colorado home. The afternoon he put it up, Shanahan shot his first-ever hole-in-one at Englewood, Colorado's Cherry Hills Country Club. Shanahan never took the leprechaun down. When the original fell into disrepair, he replaced it with a new one. He claims he's lost track of how many leprechauns he's purchased over the past twenty years."

That's crazy. I wonder if he dresses it up as Santa on Christmas.

I can't believe no one called BS on this. ???

I think Bob relapsed and started eating twinkies again...

Nope. Just got back from the gym. I'm feeling pumped. Tennis was fun, too. No high school babes this time, unfortunately.
