Frontgate | Avon Construction Progress

It has been an active and fun summer for the Frontgate | Avon sales and construction teams. Since opening the Sales Gallery next to Starbuck’s in June, the Frontgate | Avon community has welcomed 8 enthusiastic new homeowners, and tours of the construction site began in August. Brokers and potential buyers alike are amazed by the construction progress (which continues to run ahead of schedule), along with the size of the building, its amenities, and the views that are taking shape! 

For more information about the project, visit their website, email [email protected] or call 970.445.4615.

The enhancement of public places by integrating the creative work of artists improves the pedestrian experience and promotes vibrancy, creativity and livelihood in the community. The presence of and access to public art enlivens public areas and their grounds and makes them more welcoming. It creates a deeper interaction with the places where we live, work, and visit. Public art illuminates the diversity and history of a community, and points to its aspirations for the future.
