Canal Rim Townhouses – Palisade, Colorado

Canal Rim is a 31 unit development bordered by an irrigation canal, organic orchard, and Town Park. Expansive views of the Grand Mesa and Bookcliffs lie to the north and east.

The development layout extends an existing local street to terminate in a pedestrian overlook feature at the canal edge.

Townhouses are grouped to create open space between building clusters and a central green space that functions as a small park and site water management feature. Storm and irrigation water pass through natural bio-filters to remove impurities and protect the local watershed.

Individual units range in size from 1,900 SF to 2,400 SF. Inner units include side patios that increase access to fresh air and daylight and reduce overlapping interior spaces between dwellings.

• Bio-filtration of storm water runoff & ditch irrigation water.
• Shared community outdoor spaces.
• Proposed local transit stop.
• Proposed pedestrian link to existing town park.
