Development in South Loveland Finally Brings Down Dilapidated Home

Every town in Colorado has had a "old house off the highway" that everyone talked about, like Loveland. It was just a matter of time before one of Loveland's busiest intersections would finally see it's last corner get developed.

Big Development in South Loveland to Bring Housing, Possible Grocer

It was in February of 2026, that they began razing the area to get it ready to sell the business and service lots for South Village; with that, came the tearing down of an old, dilapidated home that, at one point, long ago, was part of a farm that had been there. There are reports of a murder-suicide happening on the property in 2000.

A Development That Has Been in the Works in Some Fashion Since 1999

According to the City of Loveland records, it's taken a lot to get the property updated and line with today's standards, including dealing with it being in a flood plain (bringing in 600,000 cubic-yards of fill-dirt,) capping old wells, and getting CDOT to OK improvements on 402 and 287 for getting in and out of South Village.

It was definitely "weird" to not see that old house at t he corner; but bringing in the kind of development will be great for south Loveland.
