Redevelopment of the old Breckenridge Building Center

The Planning commission has recently held a final hearing on the project to redevelop the old Breckenridge Building Center site.  This parcel, at the corner of Main and French Streets in Breckenridge has become quite run down and is an eyesore at the northern gateway to Main Street.  Known as the Columbia Lode Subdivision, The proposal subdivides the property into 5 parcels, one multi-family parcel and one single family lot, with the other 3 being public and private open space.

Benefits to the Town include:
  • Extension of sidewalk from the north end of the site - near the round about to the intersection at French and Main.
  • Dedication of land along French Street to allow for the Town to construct a right hand turn lane from westbound French to northbound Main.
  • Creation of a "significant landscaped open area" along Main Street.
  • re-routing the Klack drainage which cuts the site.
As this project moves forward, be sure to check http://www.coloradomountainretreats.com/ for updates and sales and leasing information.
