PEACEFUL TRAILS WITH CONVENIENT ACCESS POINTS.
Continuous trail surfaces
As a tie that binds together the whole District, the extensive trail network weaves around and through developments. This unifying pathway provides an engaging alternative path to the grocery store, secluded spaces for an afternoon jog, and connected routes for a peaceful bike ride.
Optimized proximity
Part of the magic of the trail system is its adjacency to other uses. The trails are located just steps below residential units and pass by numerous neighborhood commercial functions. The smell of fresh-ground coffee beans wafts across the greenway, reminding users of the wealth of options at their fingertips.
Experiential moments
The identity of the Copper District is evident at every turn. Unique wayfinding markers, educational signage, and workout equipment dot the trail system and express to users the many ways that the District beats with one, cohesive heart.
Traditional tree canopy
Bountiful planters sit at the edge of every intersection, highlighting the naturalistic character of the District. Diverse trees and plantings make the greenway system feel intimate and embedded in nature, while only steps away from accessible streets.
A DIVERSE RESIDENTIAL COMMONS.
Performative landscapes
The naturalistic components of the Copper District are expressed even along residential streets, where residents utilize wild plantings for landscapes and take advantage of planter boxes to grow herbs and vegetables.
Variety of housing
Diverse residential typologies serve every type of family. Ample and unique housing choices provide every type of modern-day family a place to call home – while creating varying facades and visual appeal.
Porches & porticoes
In support of community life, the Copper District champions semi-public and semi-private spaces in its residential typologies, providing a diversity of yards, porches, patios and porticoes. These in-between spaces foster and active street life as neighbors meet, greet, and gather here.
Intimate dimensions
Smaller street widths allow for more walkable, social, and lively neighborhoods. The intimacy of the street creates a welcoming and safe aura – the perfect place for quick conversations with neighbors, a wave while grabbing the mail, and a larger sense of community.
A glimpse into potential future GROWTH AT THE DISTRICT
As a project that is constantly evolving to best serve the area, the Copper District is poised to support additional elements in the future. Our goal is to make sure the District grows with the people and businesses that live there, continuing to provide an elevated residential and commercial experience.

A central school location with a shared entry plaza provides a place to learn, grow, and gather. The rich landscape imparts educational opportunities that overflow onto the campus, also lending a perfect spot for pedestrian-friendly drop off.
Welcoming gathering spaces
