Design Concepts set the bar in 1982 when we formed the first mixed-use, park-centered, pedestrian-oriented community in Colorado called Noble Park in Boulder. Since then, our communities employ every form of housing density, housing type, alleys, roundabouts, regional trail crossings, center parks, and commercial space, in addition to incorporating everything from market rate, high-end housing, to highly dense European style affordable housing (Thistle Community Housing).  Health and active lifestyles are always at the forefront of our planning efforts. Design Concepts designs communities within parks, not vice-versa.  Recreation, shopping, education, working and growing are seamless and integral every time.
