The Gunnison Rising project is one of the largest land opportunities in Western Colorado — offering a master-planned framework for 1,700 residential units and 920,000 square feet of commercial, hospitality, and industrial space directly adjacent to Western Colorado University and Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport, and ~28 Miles from the Crested Butte Mountain Resort.
As a shovel ready, fully entitled, master-planned mountain town community ripe with opportunity and natural beauty, Gunnison Rising presents a once in a lifetime opportunity to help shape the future of the entire Gunnison Valley.
Designed to create the ultimate work-life balance alongside the endless amenities Gunnison Valley has to offer, Gunnison Rising will offer walkable trail-oriented neighborhoods, every home within a short walk to a park, immediate adjacency to Western Colorado University, easy access to Tomichi Creek State Wildlife Area, a regional trail head park connection to Signal Peak, and a planned connection to Hartman Rocks. The plan also includes an events center, a “Makers District” for entrepreneurs and business growth, a “Government Campus” and an RV & Glamping Resort.
Nearby amenities just a short walk, bike ride or drive away include Downtown Gunnison, the Jorgenson Ice Rink and Event Center, Gunnison Whitewater Park, Dos Rios Golf Club, as well as the Hartman Rocks Recreation Area and Blue Mesa Reservoir for additional outdoor recreation opportunities including sailing, waterskiing, swimming, fishing, and horseback riding.
Ski and snowboard enthusiasts can head to Monarch Mountain to the east or Crested Butte Mountain Resort (CBMR) to the north for the ultimate ski experience. For ease and simplicity, residents can ride the free RTA bus from Gunnison to the base of CBMR.
