RE: “Typically the commercial/retail follows the rooftops of new homes, not vice versa…”

Colorado Crossing was to have a very strong residential component, but Jannie wasted her money on the parking garage instead… She’d brag about her $9M , non-revenue producing cash sucking parking garage… Over 300 apartments are planned directly across from the front of the theatre.

It’s intreresting to see the list of unsecured creditors in her bankruptcy petition , she lists herself as # 1…

Typically the commercial/retail follows the rooftops of new homes, not vice versa. Whoever gave Richardson advice on when to build new retail in that part of town at this time in particular must have been employed by her competitors!

And yet we need another major shopping center at Northgate and I-25!!! Copper Ridge, the Norwood development, and Colorado Crossing are all counting the same households to justify their projects. I hope the people living there have a lot of money to spend. And, by the way, what about Chapel Hills and the new North Nevada development? There must be a lot of well-off shoppers in our metro area.

The answer to Stepen’s question is no. Neither Jeff Smith nor Classic Homes has anything to do with the Colorado Crossing project.

Is Jeff Smith, the owner of El Paso Counties large home builder (Classic Homes) a partner of Jannie and this project?
