An urban renewal project launched in 2015 has created more than a few reasons for residents and visitors in Colorado Springs to stop and dine or even to relocate to the once blighted and crime-ridden neighborhoods along South Nevada Avenue.
Construction workers are currently moving dirt on another, which is being billed as the crown jewel in a massive makeover of the district: A luxury hotel and campus that will take up 17 lots at 1619 S. Tejon Street.
A rendering shows a street scene in the 223-unit Mosaica apartment project that s planned east of Circle Drive and Hancock Expressway on Colorado Springs southeast side. Mosaica has been designed with a neighborhood look and feel. Its 48 smaller buildings will have front porches and amenities will include backyard-like common areas, a neighborhood community center and a playground. COURTESY RENDERING
