Ground Breaking
A New Light Rises in Old Town Fort Collins: Celebrating the Groundbreaking of La Vie Lumiére
Today marks a meaningful milestone in the heart of Old Town Fort Collins as community leaders, project partners, and invited guests gathered to celebrate the official groundbreaking of La Vie Lumiére—a boutique luxury residential development thoughtfully designed to complement one of Northern Colorado’s most vibrant and historic neighborhoods.
Located within walking distance of Old Town’s iconic streets, independent restaurants, cultural venues, and public spaces, La Vie Lumiére represents a carefully considered addition to a district defined by character, creativity, and enduring appeal.
A Vision Rooted in Place and Light
La Vie Lumiére—translated as “the life of light”—draws inspiration from Fort Collins’ balance of historic charm, natural beauty, and modern energy. From its earliest concept, the development was envisioned as a refined expression of contemporary living that respects Old Town’s architectural heritage while embracing elevated design.
“Old Town Fort Collins deserves architecture that is both thoughtful and timeless,” said Laurie Davis, Architect of Davis & Davis. “La Vie Lumiére reflects our commitment to craftsmanship, livability, and creating a place that truly belongs in this neighborhood.”
Boutique Luxury Living in the Heart of Old Town
Upon completion, La Vie Lumiére will comprise 15 luxury townhomes, each designed with an emphasis on natural light, energy efficiency, thoughtful layouts, and elegant design. Residences will feature open-concept floor plans, premium finishes, private outdoor spaces, and select views of Old Town or the foothills, offering a refined yet comfortable living experience.
Residents will enjoy a curated suite of amenities tailored to an urban, walkable lifestyle — all just steps from Old Town Square, the Poudre River Trail, and Fort Collins’ extensive pedestrian and cycling network.
Sustainability and long-term durability are integral to the project, with energy-efficient systems, durable materials, and thoughtful building practices incorporated to align with Fort Collins’ environmental values.
A Thoughtful Addition to the Old Town Fabric
La Vie Lumiére is designed not only as a place to live, but as a meaningful contributor to Old Town Fort Collins. Through pedestrian-oriented design, carefully scaled architecture, and attention to streetscape detail, the project enhances the surrounding neighborhood while respecting its established character.
City officials and community representatives attending the groundbreaking recognized La Vie Lumiére as an example of well-executed infill development—one that balances growth with preservation and design integrity.
Looking Ahead
With construction now underway, completion of La Vie Lumiére is anticipated during Spring 2027. As the project takes shape, the development team remains focused on delivering a community defined by quality, intention, and enduring value.
The groundbreaking of La Vie Lumiére marks the beginning of a new chapter in Old Town Fort Collins living—where light, design, and lifestyle converge.
