2005 – 2006

Team digs in on historic downtown Fort Collins project

Jim Sell Design team faces “what lies beneath” Penny Flats

Fort Collins, Colorado – Six feet, under. It wasn’t a casket, but a six-foot, underground storm drain that presented a deep challenge for the 2.6-acre Penny Flats development on Mason Street in downtown Fort Collins.


2002 – 2006

Computer technology helps engineers and designers master
40 percent slope

Jim Sell Design team creates wetlands habitat for Crested Butte’s Reserve on the East River

Crested Butte, Colorado – What happens when you move a million cubic yards of earth? When you’re in capable hands, you can create a sanctuary.


1997 – 2005

Grounds for inspiration – Jim Sell Design team aces
the Boulder IBM facility’s landscape renovation

Boulder, Colorado – Bark-eating rabbits. Security cameras.  Sprinkler systems that had long gone dry. These were just a few of the challenges facing the Jim Sell Design, Inc., team when they undertook an extensive landscape renovation of the IBM Facility in Boulder.


1999

Experienced Jim Sell Design team navigates city’s new
Land Use Code

“Breaking the code” – The Rigden Farm success story

Fort Collins, Colorado – Every city has its growing pains, and when Fort Collins, Colorado, overhauled its city Land Use Code in 1997, developers and investors were naturally a little nervous about giving the new code a “spin.” Rigden Farm – off Timberline and Drake roads – provided the opportunity for the code’s inaugural flight, and the Jim Sell Design, Inc., team was one of the groups at the controls.


1995

Real neighborhoods at Willow Springs have curves

Fort Collins, Colorado – The shortest distance between two points isn’t always a straight line. In the Fort Collins Willow Springs residential development – off Harmony and Kechter roads – the shortest distance to miles of greenbelts and safe playing areas for children is definitely curvilinear.
