Construction Update: The Flats at the Oval

The Flats at the Oval is a four-story mixed-use student housing project that will include ground-floor retail and 40 residential units with 108 beds. Since my last post about the project much has changed. Framing for the new structure was finished in about December and the exterior finishes are going up fast. The project anticipates a summer/fall completion date. Just in time for the new school year.

Welcome to Grow Fort Collins... Again

After a very long and busy winter break, Grow Fort Collins is back. Lots of good happened while I was Away. Downtown Fort Collins is lucky to have maintained a steady amount of development in an economic climate like this one when many cities have laid dormant. Over the next few days I will be updating you on all that has happened during my leave of absence. You can look forward to plenty of news and event info, construction updates, new project announcements, and pretty pretty pictures. 2010 promises to be an exciting year for downtown Fort Collins. So check back often and spread the word about Grow Fort Collins.
