The new frontiers of land development are outside the boundaries of major metropolitan areas. In the small City of Trinidad, Colorado, Vision Land helped develop 285 acres of farmland into what is anticipated to be the premier subdivision of this quaint bedroom community. Working with associate and renowned land planner, Bill Elkjer (Reston Town Center - Reston. VA, The Meadows – Castle Rock, CO, River Bridge – Palm Beach County, FL, Timarron – South Lake, TX, Desert Mountain Ranch, Scottsdale, AZ) the team designed a mixed use development that includes both high and low density residential units, commercial areas, recreation areas, an equestrian center, trails, and well planned open spaces. The Vision Land work started with due diligence research prior to land acquisition and continued through the annexation, rezoning, plating and construction document preparation process. We provided the required civil engineering design, worked with other sub-consultants, and solicited and analyzed bids for construction. Our ability to communicate effectively with the small town government avoided costly time delays in the submittal and approval process.
