Major upcoming Breckenridge development could get even bigger

 #breckenridge #colorado #realestate


One of Breckenridge’s largest-ever proposed developments could expand into more areas of town by having another parcel of land added to it.

At the Dec. 12 Breckenridge Town Council meeting, the developer of the Peak 8/ Gold Rush Lot Development, Breckenridge Grand Vacations, and town staff proposed the addition of a seventh parcel. 

This proposal followed concerns raised by Town Council at a previous work session regarding the location of the workforce housing parcel for the previously six-parcel development.

Council members were wary of accepting the proposed development of 92 workforce housing units on Park Avenue, which would have a total of 143 beds. Council members felt this many units in that busy area of town could lead to issues with safety and pedestrian traffic. Many council members advocated for some of these units to be moved to the “Entrada parcel” at the corner of Highway 9 and County Road 450. 

Breckenridge Planning Commission and town staff had previously raised concern over a handful of issues, mostly related to landscaping and snow stacking, on the Entrada site given its limited size. This site has a limitation of around 35,000 square feet of housing to develop on it.
