Plans are again underway for the construction of an affordable housing project in Fort Collins that could see the building of up to 140 condo units.
The project belongs to the company Hartford Homes, which is based in Timnath, Colorado, and will go up just to the north of the big Odell Brewing Company site, located at 800 E. Lincoln Avenue.
What is being called The Tapestry will be built on some 12 acres donated by the brewing company’s founders, about a mile to the east of downtown Fort Collins, and featuring a variety of bedroom options.
When the project was initially proposed, it was announced that it would see the creation of a neighborhood with “thoughtful landscaping, native plants, local art sculptures, and open green space.”
A portion of the project will be built by the national nonprofit Habitat for Humanity and geared for residents making anywhere between 80% to 120% of Area Median Income.
The project was initially delayed due to zoning issues and objections raised by neighbors regarding traffic issues.
Now, according to published reports, it is thought that it may take up to 12 months for the project to secure city approval, with actual construction beginning sometime in the fall of 2025.
