Located along the eastern base of the Rocky Mountains, Centerra is designed to complement what Loveland residents value most: access to natural amenities, plentiful recreation opportunities, and strong community character. DTJ has a long-standing relationship with Realberry (formerly McWhinney) and has been involved with this community through every stage, from initial master planning and visioning to landscape architecture and amenity design.

The Centerra Master Plan provides an integrated pattern of land uses and development with strong pedestrian connections and a range of housing opportunities within proximity to jobs, shopping, entertainment, and social gathering places. Building upon existing development, Centerra is distinguished by six districts with distinct personalities. The mix of land uses and special character of each district considers the site’s unique landscape or urban characteristics. An open space and trails network emanates from the district centers and connects throughout the community and amenities.

Colorado’s agricultural character inspired Centerra’s landscape vision. Elements such as bridges, signage, sculptural landforms, and parks were designed to reflect the heritage of this area where the high plains meet the Rocky Mountain foothills.

Centerra is home to the one-of-a-kind High Plains Environmental Center (HPEC) and the first community in Colorado to be designated as a Certified Community Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation.
