Solace at the Ranch (recently rebranded from Solace at Black Forest) is a 374-unit ground up multi-family project on the east side of Colorado Springs at the doorstep of the Banning Lewis Ranch and its long term plans for 60,000+ additional residents. Solace is located as part of a larger mixed-use development at Woodmen and Marksheffel in what is becoming a premier east side intersection. Brand new retail currently underway at the corner includes McDonald's, Starbucks, Dutch Bros Coffee, Taco Bell, Burger King, 7-11, Pizza Hut, and Kum & Go. The project is a traditional 3-story garden style development with spacious units and grounds. It represents the fourth iteration of our Solace brand and second in Colorado Springs. Solace at the Ranch contains 17 residential buildings and a nearly 10,000 square foot clubhouse featuring a state-of-the-art fitness center with studio and indoor-outdoor space, pool deck and spa, co-working space, dog wash and dog run, and hospitality-focused lobby, communal kitchen and club room. This project will also be our first to offer carriage units, individual entrance units above a dedicated garage space. Solace at the Ranch broke ground in September 2022.
