The point being, even if frivolous, is that within the City/County of Denver there is only one Fortune 500 company: Davita. Aside from one or two that are along U.S. 36/Interlocken all the Fortune 500 companies lie south of Denver in either Arapahoe or Douglas County.
Unfortunately, assuming it even makes a difference, Denver/metro has a habit of losing Fortune 500's as fast as they get them. Next loss will be Level 3's merger with CenturyLink and then CH2M(Hill) which is being bought by Jacobs Engineering/Dallas.
Fritzdude makes a good point as to specific location. Given Western Union does business across the pond as well as south of the border it may just be that Denver is at least somewhat well known. My suspicion is, like Ch2M which sold their own buildings prior to cashing out the company, that Western Union is taking advantage of the real estate market in selling buildings they own and afterwards may even look for "strategic alternatives" like a merger or going private. Who knows?
