The Trolley Block

Eat + Drink
Downtown, Colorado Springs
2018

A visionary project encompassing a historic block in south downtown Colorado Springs; transforming warehouses originally built for the City’s trolley system into a vibrant mixed use district. A new chapter for this historic property preserves the architecture and supports existing tenants while infusing new life into the block. A surface parking lot was converted into an 8,000 s.f. multi-tenant patio space marked by 12’ tall corten steel marquees with neon signage. The original Trolley Barn warehousing, along with a 5,000 s.f. addition and roof deck, provide a home for 6 Colorado based food and drink tenants, virtual sports training facility, office suites (above), and a brewery taproom and food hall. The master planning and architecture of the Trolley Block provides Colorado Springs with a heightened design experience that formerly did not exist in the City and is helping to raise the bar on future downtown development.
