Planning commission approves 800 single family units along I-25 corridor

Castle Rock's Planning Commission has unveiled a significant development proposal that could reshape the community's landscape. During a meeting on April 24, 2025, officials discussed plans for 800 single-family homes and 1,000 multifamily units, primarily located on the east side of Interstate 25.

The proposed development aims to create a cohesive neighborhood that aligns with existing residential areas, including the Scott filing and Woodlands. While the total number of units is 1,800, the bulk of the development will consist of single-family homes, with some attached products like paired homes and townhomes. This approach is designed to maintain harmony with adjacent neighborhoods.

A notable aspect of the proposal is the mixed zoning in a designated area known as PA 6. This area could potentially host a high-end resort spa with branded residences or additional single-family homes, but it will not exceed the cap of 800 homes in the overall plan.

On the multifamily side, the proposal includes 225 units on the east side of I-25, comparable in density to nearby Bluffs Apartments. The west side of the highway could accommodate up to 775 multifamily units, along with commercial business uses and a potential mobility hub, although the town has not taken a formal position on the latter.

This development is poised to impact the local housing market significantly, providing a mix of residential options to meet the needs of the growing community. As discussions continue, residents will be closely monitoring how these plans unfold and what they mean for the future of Castle Rock.
