Shopping Hot Spots in Colorado Springs
The City of Colorado Springs real estate area has two shopping malls, two shopping corridors, and countless shopping centers. If you have an upcoming Colorado Springs relocation then you should know Colorado Springs is spreading its shopping wings with the addition of two new shopping areas: The Colorado Crossing, an urban town center, and a traditional shopping center called The Marketplace. Both shopping areas are enormous mixed use developments.
Colorado Crossing is located in the northern part of Colorado Springs along Highway 83/87 and Interquest Parkway. The Center is in its first phase of development. Colorado Crossing will have residential housing including: Luxury lofts, apartments, condominiums, and townhomes. The Center has a 10 year completion time. It is a retail, residential, and commercial project.
Interquest Marketplace is also in the construction phase. The Marketplace is more of a traditional style shopping center that is located along Interquest Parkway and Interstate 25. The development will have stores and restaurants and other types of commercial properties. The Marketplace has an approximate five year project completion time table. It is a regional retail and commercial center.
