West Eagle Housing Development
Coming Soon!
The proposed West Eagle Housing Development will be located on a 9.5-acre infill site, surrounded by established neighborhoods in the Town of Eagle. This property is owned by Eagle County and the Eagle County Housing and Development Authority (ECHDA).
West Eagle will consist of 113 housing units across 23 buildings, providing a variety of options to meet diverse housing needs. The development will include 15 one-bedroom units, 86 two-bedroom units (including 24 units with dens), 2 three-bedroom units, and 10 four-bedroom units. Most ground-floor one-bedroom units will be designed to meet accessibility standards, ensuring inclusivity. The entire development will be high-efficiency, all-electric, and net-zero-ready, adhering to strict sustainability and performance standards.
All units at West Eagle will be deed-restricted for sale. Ten percent of the units will be available through the Town's Local Employee Residency Program (LERP) for local employees, while the remaining units will be restricted to residents who live and work in Eagle County. At least 50% of these homes will feature price-capped deed restrictions, making them affordable for households earning between 100% and 140% of the Area Median Income (AMI). Other units will have different deed restrictions that may allow higher sales prices but will still limit ownership to eligible local residents.
ECHDA aims to provide as many price-capped deed-restricted units as possible. To support this goal, Eagle County will donate the land for the project and will not profit from the development. However, even with this contribution, additional subsidies will be needed to achieve affordability targets. Therefore, the County welcomes partnerships to help keep these homes affordable.
Community and Connectivity
Connectivity is a key feature of West Eagle. The development will make use of its infill characteristics to create strong links within the neighborhood and surrounding areas. Walking and biking paths will connect residents to the Town's existing trail system, linking nearby residential areas with commercial zones along Grand Avenue. Additionally, 0.94 acres of land will be dedicated to the Town for the future Brush Creek Road Extension, further enhancing accessibility.
Alignment with Town Plans
West Eagle aligns with the Town of Eagle's West Eagle Sub Area Plan, Strategic Plan, and Elevate Eagle Plan. It aims to integrate seamlessly into the existing community, providing connectivity, open space, and trails while adding diverse and affordable housing options. These features contribute to the Town's economic growth and enhance the quality of life for its residents.
