    Karl's Farm Reimagined

    The Karl’s Farm Master Plan is an amendment to the city’s Comprehensive Plan that was adopted in 2016.

    For leasing information on Senior Housing at Karl's Farm, please call 303.626.8466. 

    Goals
    The vision of the Karl’s Farm development is to create a new neighborhood village that reflects the important agricultural and historical heritage of the farm, as well as its role in the growth of the local community.

    The city's goal is to maximize the property’s development potential, ensure a sense of place, and reflect the Hinkhouse family’s values and interests. The following are guiding principles that summarize the city’s interests:
    • Diversify housing
    • Leverage retail potential on 120th Avenue
    • Preserve certain landmarks and/or heritage traits that are inherent to its agricultural history
    • Build transit-supportive development
    • Create a sense of place

    Features
    Development will incorporate “placemaking” attributes, including the following:

    • Housing for various stages of life
    • Connections that promote access to all forms of transport
    • Open areas for recreation and a connection to nature
    • Development character that reflects a common aesthetic and helps memorialize the heritage of activities that once occurred on the property
    • Maximize the development opportunities provided by the area’s proximity to the FasTracks Eastlake Station
