Freedom Crossing at Fort Carson

Freedom Crossing at Fort Carson,  Colorado Springs, CO

Fort Carson Colorado is a large military installation located just south of Colorado Springs, CO that is expanding dramatically in size. It is known as “The Best Hometown in the Army”.

Freedom Crossing at Fort Carson was conceived as a lifestyle center and the new downtown of the Fort Carson community. With a variety of entertainment, retail stores, food establishments and office space the project offer vibrant street fronts and new venues that were only available outside the Post to the growing military families.   The project was conceived as a series of nodes with indoor/outdoor spaces proving comfortable outdoor living rooms for recreation, casual shopping, eating and drinking, and entertainment venues. The contemporary design of the project was extremely appealing to the young military families who form the majority of the on post population, but was equally attractive to the more affluent retiree community who live off post but makes daily visits to their “Hometown”.
