Location
Fort Collins is experiencing significant economic growth and revitalization, particularly in the East Mulberry Corridor, a key area benefiting from its strategic location along Interstate 25. The recently adopted East Mulberry Corridor Plan outlines a long-term vision for this gateway, focusing on infrastructure improvements, development guidelines, and potential annexation into the city. With high business traffic generated by I-25, the corridor has become an increasingly attractive location for commercial and light industrial investment.
Complementing this commercial potential is the rapid residential neighborhood expansion nearby, most notably the new Bloom master-planned community to the North. Spanning over 200 acres, Bloom is designed to include approximately 1,600 residences along with parks, trails, a central town center, and 20 to 30 acres of commercial space. Early phases are already underway, featuring a mix of single-family homes, cottages, and multifamily units, including a significant number of affordable housing options. Together, the East Mulberry Corridor Plan, the accessibility from I-25, and the thoughtful residential development in Bloom are driving sustained economic vitality, transforming the area into a dynamic and livable extension of Fort Collins.
