Developability
- Extremely rare Front Range mountain development opportunity with multiple paths for development either through Gilpin County or Central City
- Intense housing demand pressures both locally for casino workers and more broadly for Front Range workers/residents
- Slope/topo is relatively flat for mountain property, and no area is undevelopable due to topo constraints
- Electricity to the property already with water and other infrastructure being along Upper Apex Road
- Past 24-month trailing sales data on the townhomes next door
- Average sale price of $480k | Average unit size of 1,887 SF | Townhomes were built in 2008
