Colorado Crossing

Colorado Springs, CO

OZ Architecture, in conjunction with N.E.S. Inc, provided master planning services for this mixed-use “Town Center” in north Colorado Springs.

The design concept envisions a uniquely identifiable “Town Center” that incorporates a multitude of vertically and horizontally integrated uses. The overall intent was to create a well-used and well-loved pedestrian-oriented place of enduring value that allows merchants, residents, and visitors to walk a few blocks in any direction to shops, restaurants, recreation, cultural, workplace, worship and festival events.

The development program included 800,000 SF retail, 800,000 SF office, 600 room hotel/conference center, water park, cathedral and 1600 residential units. Design Guidelines were prepared to ensure that the goals and vision of Colorado Crossing are realized.

The SW/NE street grid allows all streets to benefit from daylight in the summer and winter, and provides grand views to Pikes Peak and the Front Range. This grid also aligns external streets with internal networks to enhance connectivity.

Subsequent to the October 2005 approval by the City of Colorado Springs, OZ Architecture has provided urban design and architectural design services for a series of site specific Development Plans for the Main Street District, Commercial Districts, and the Residential Districts within the Town Center.
Area: 150 Acres
