Elevate Downtown Plan
Elevate Downtown is Colorado Springs’ updated Downtown master plan and the Downtown Development Authority’s official Plan of Development. Adopted by City Council in 2026, it establishes a vision and priorities for development, investment, mobility, public spaces, and neighborhood growth over the next 10 years and beyond.
For businesses, property owners, and investors, the plan identifies desired uses and development opportunities, provides context for evaluating projects, and guides the DDA’s investment and funding priorities.
