Planning is underway to turn a former bus station in downtown Grand Junction into a modern multi-purpose complex.
The large facility, located on a less than one-acre site at 230 S. Fifth Street, has been abandoned since early 2021 when the Greyhound company moved its operations to another location in the city.
Shortly after Greyhound left the site, the Grand Junction Downtown Development Authority purchased the land for around $700,000. Now, working with the Aspen-based Headwaters Housing Partners, the DDA has announced plans to transform the terminal space into a mixed-use property with both residential units and ground-level community space.
To be called “The Terminal,” the new complex will see the construction of a multi-story structure housing up to 72 residential units, with space for art studios, exhibitions, and galleries.
In an interview with the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel, Adam Roy, project engineer with Headwaters Housing, described the terminal building itself as a “cool little bus station with the 1930s architecture, kind of this art deco style,” that he said would be preserved as part of the project.
