Planning is still underway on a project set for the south side of Fort Collins that will see the building of 116 new apartments.
The Collins apartment complex will be built on the southeast corner of Harmony Road and College Avenue and was originally approved in the fall of 2016 by the city’s Planning and Zoning Board.
But due to a variety of factors, including construction costs and delays prompted by Covid 19, work on the project has yet to begin.
The project by Massimino Development, which was formerly called Brick Stone Apartments on Harmony, will feature master suites with such amenities as walk-in closets, nine-foot-high ceilings, and in-unit bike storage.
Architect for the The Collins is Ripley Design of Fort Collins.
The larger project parameters will include 5,300 square feet of common interior space, as well as four terraces and a roof top swimming pool. Earlier reports indicated that the project would consist of seven 3-story buildings.
While the original city approval for The Collins is now more than seven years old, the planning and zoning board this month agreed to give the project more time for development.
It is thought that work on the The Collins will launch later this year.
Massimino Development, which is based in Boulder, advertises itself as a “fully integrated real estate development firm” investing in projects primarily located in the West.
Among its other endeavors, the company, working with the Chicago-based Origin Investments, spurred construction of the nearly $69 million Farm Haus Apartments in Longmont, a 280-unit development.
