Get a look at early designs for downtown Fort Collins hotel, townhomes

Developers of a proposed upscale hotel and townhomes project in downtown Fort Collins have shared the vision for the former site of the Wells Fargo bank at College Avenue and Magnolia Street. Neighbors of the potential development at 401 S. College Ave., got to hear about the plans during a neighborhood meeting Oct. 29. Developer LaPour proposes to demolish the building, which is currently eligible for historic landmark status, and construct a six-story hotel and two-story single-family detached units. The property is just south of Magnolia and spans a lot running from College to Mason Street. The hotel would be on the College side, while the townhomes would be on the Mason side. Building eligible for landmark status Because the building has been nominated for landmark status, it will require Historic Preservation Commission review and potentially City Council review, and no decision on the development proposal can be made until that is resolved, said Jim Bertolini, a historic preservation planner with the city. The building is eligible for landmark status due to its significance as an example of midcentury modern architecture that reflects changes in commercial activity in the 20th century, he said.

The meeting is scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. in the school board’s regular meeting room at PSD’s Johannsen Support Services Center, 2407 Laporte Ave., in Fort Collins, PSD spokesperson John Cope told the Coloradoan on Nov. 9. It will be livestreamed on the district's YouTube page and Comcast/Xfinity Channel 10. The agenda had not been published as of 3:15 p.m. Nov. 9, and it was not clear if there would be an opportunity for community comment during the meeting. A previously approved plan for school consolidations, closures and boundary changes included the closure of Blevins and three elementary schools by July 1, 2027.
