Northern Colorado Technology Park
Location
Summary
Challenge
Northern Colorado Technology Park presented a unique challenge with its expansive scale, spanning nearly 600,000 square feet of planned commercial development, and long-term build-out across 18 separate lots and 5 native tract areas. The site required a sustainable landscape solution capable of supporting phased construction over several years while ensuring visual and functional cohesion across the entire property.
Solution
DCPS successfully addressed these challenges by delivering a full-scope landscape solution using high-quality materials and careful utility coordination to accommodate future phases. By implementing a scalable irrigation system and focusing on sustainable native planting, we provided an adaptable yet consistent landscape aesthetic that aligned with the park’s commercial and environmental goals.
Our approach involved careful planning and execution, coordinating with overall site development. Our team began by carefully planning and mapping irrigation infrastructure, including sleeving installations to support long-term flexibility for pipe routing and utility work. We coordinated closely with the general contractor to align landscape work with ongoing vertical construction timelines. This was followed by mass grading and soil preparation. The landscape elements – decorative rock, sod, native seed across the designed tracts and the planting of trees, shrubs, and ornamental plant materials, were then installed in phases, allowing for smooth integration with the park’s evolving build-out.
The entire scope for the Northern Colorado Technology Park was delivered in multiple phases over a 3- to 4-year timeline. Throughout the process, DCPS maintained continuity in quality, material selection, and overall landscape appearance.
