NES led the entitlement process for a multi-family housing complex in Colorado Springs, uniquely situated on repurposed land at Chapel Hills Mall, where a former Sears store once stood. This innovative infill project was notable due to its prime location with fantastic views and limited surrounding residential development. NES’s role included designing the landscape and creating a comprehensive amenity package that featured a pool, outdoor kitchen, and other outdoor recreational spaces, enhancing the living experience for future residents.
This development exemplified how a thoughtful repurposing of underutilized commercial spaces can breathe new life into an area. By transforming part of a shopping mall into a vibrant residential hub, NES not only provided much-needed housing but also helped catalyze further economic development in the surrounding area. The project stands as a model for sustainable urban infill, offering both economic and community benefits by revitalizing an underused part of the city and attracting new investment to Colorado Springs.
