About the project

The developer's vision for the Mulberry-PUD Master Plan is to transform 226 acres into a mixed-use neighborhood with a variety of shops, businesses, and different types of homes (about 1,600 total), with an emphasis on affordability. The PUD area is located along East Mulberry Street with businesses and the densest housing being closest to Mulberry Street, then gradually becoming quieter with more focus on houses to the north of the land. The plan proposes a town center with a pedestrian-friendly main street, 20-30+ acres of businesses, parks (including a large central one), and trails connecting the neighborhood and linking to the broader Fort Collins trail system.

This site is meant to supplement the information provided at public outreach sessions and neighborhood meetings. Comments made here will be shared with the City staff members who are reviewing the project and with project decision-makers if/when phases of the project go to a public hearing. Our goal is to post all pertinent public information regarding the project as it is submitted, including but not limited to, site plans, traffic studies, staff comments and event announcements. You are also encouraged to reach out directly to staff listed on this site if you have other specific questions or concerns.
