Exceptional opportunity to re-imagine, re-build or remodel a prime property located 3 blocks from the heart of Downtown with its abundance of unique local shops and restaurants. Directly across the street is the historic Train Depot and one block to the north is Martinez Park, including The Farm, playground, baseball fields, tennis/pickleball courts and access to the extensive Poudre Trail system. As an added bonus, Colorado State University is less than one mile to the south and access to the Maxline Transit Center is only one block away. 323 N Howes and 325 N Howes are offered together and comprise 14,499 sq feet of potential with two points of access. Utilities are on-site or adjacent to the property with significant credit towards Utility development fees. Being located in the Downtown Civic Zone offers the potential to build 4 stories with no hard limit on the number of units. So much of the potential for this property is about the location, but just as important is that it offers a walk/bike lifestyle desired by so many. Let your imagination run wild and schedule an appointment to come and see what you can build!

Martinez Park, located between College Avenue and the Cache la Poudre River, is a historic and residential Fort Collins neighborhood with a riverside greenbelt and a walkable grid of older streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the North College Avenue corridor near Willow Street, where taquerias, panaderías, and small storefronts meet steady bike traffic. Early- and mid-century cottages and modest bungalows sit alongside newer infill, giving blocks a layered, lived-in look. Martinez Park and the Poudre Trail set the daily rhythm with ballfields, picnic lawns, and river views. Odell Brewing Company, New Belgium Brewing, and the Lincoln Center anchor nearby culture with taprooms and performing arts.
