A Community Marketplace
The Carbondale Marketplace is part of a larger, long-envisioned property that has been the focus of planning discussions for over a decade. As community needs evolved, priorities such as a new grocery store and expanded rental housing emerged as essential components of the project’s direction. In response, the design team developed a site plan that addresses these immediate needs while laying the groundwork for future growth.
The plan includes 11 proposed buildings featuring a mix of commercial and residential architecture that front the main roadways. A variety of architectural styles, scales, and massing elements were employed to create visual diversity and a pedestrian-friendly streetscape. Internal parking, a central green space, and strong pedestrian and bicycle connectivity were all thoughtfully integrated to ensure accessibility, walkability, and convenience for the wider Carbondale, Colorado community.
