Artspace Announces October 24 Architectural Team and Open House for Salida Space to Create
Artspace, a nonprofit developer, has announced the architectural team for the ‘1st & D’ Apartments Project. Cushing Terrell Multidisciplinary Building Design and Connect One Design Landscape Architecture and Planning will work with Artspace to create 19 units of affordable workforce housing near downtown Salida.
The team, led by Laura Dougherty of Cushing Terrell, will kick off with an October 24 Open House at the Riverside Park Scout Hut in Salida with two event times: from 12:00 noon to 2:00 p.m. and from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The event is intended to engage the community in the development process. An RSVP is not required to attend.
This project is part of the Space to Create Colorado program by Colorado Creative Industries, focusing on rural workforce housing in creative districts. Artspace selected the team after a competitive RFQ process. The project site, located at E First Street and D Street, was a vacant lot, acquired by the City in mid-2022.
