Evergreen Devco, Inc., a leader in retail, multifamily, and industrial real estate development, broke ground on July 1 on Erie Highlands, a neighborhood retail commercial development located at the southwest corner of Country Road 5 and Erie Parkway in Erie.

The 12.71-acre development will provide much-needed dining options and retail services to serve the Town of Erie’s rapidly expanding residential base and the adjacent Erie High School community. Evergreen Devco strategically acquired the prime site in January 2025 and commenced construction this month to meet growing demand in one of Colorado’s fastest-expanding municipalities.

“We’re excited to officially begin construction on Erie Highlands, marking an important milestone in bringing this essential community resource to Erie,” said Erika Shorter, principal at Evergreen Devco. “This development will become a vital community gathering place, providing residents and students with the dining and retail options they need as Erie continues its remarkable growth trajectory.”
