These types of units are often popular to buyers who are empty nesters or couples looking to downsized from larger homes.
Olinger Andrews Caldwell Gibson Chapel:
The only funeral home in Castle Rock which was built in 1929 was originally scheduled for major renovation at its current location at 407 Jerry Street, just one block from the Douglas County Court House. However, after careful consideration, planners determined that construction of a new facility at the same location would be more feasible and cost e ective. Now awaiting nal permitting from the Town of Castle Rock, this funeral home and chapel will be demolished and replaced with a new building which should meet the future needs of the Castle Rock community.
Expansion of Plum Creek Parkway at Miller’s Landing:
Miller’s Landing is a planned mixed-use development located on the north side of Plum Creek Parkway west of I-25. A roadway improvement plan has been submitted to the Planning Department of Castle Rock. The proposal is to do a two-phased improvement. Phase one includes a round-a-bout and a Road A into Miller’s Landing. Phase two won’t occur until Plum Creek Parkway reaches an average of 12,000 vehicles per day as measured by west of future Prairie Hawk Drive. Regardless, residents can expect a substantial volume of tra c once this large-scale development project is completed. It is important to note that Miller’s Landing is also planning a phased development concept where buildings are constructed a few at a time as they secure tenants.
