Kinston at Centerra

Kinston is a fresh, innovative residential community providing future homeowners with an authenticity of place; a modern expression of familiar architectural styles; and a sustainable, contextual approach to landscape at all scales.

Kinston fuses timeless ideas of place with forward-thinking applications. Oriented around parks, peppered with public areas, and braided with an extensive and connecting trail system, the neighborhoods are reminiscent of classic towns—textured, unique, and a bit quirky, appealing to a diversity of residents and encouraging spontaneous meetings. The Kinston HUB is a gathering place to grab a coffee and sandwich, let the kids roam, and embark on one of the many extensive trail systems throughout Kinston.

Committed to sustainability and redefining beauty to embrace the aesthetic of the Colorado Front Range, Kinston utilizes a water-wise palette of native and adapted plants in a high-desert environment. An extensive set of design guidelines, with input from the partnering High Plains Environmental Center, sets expectations for streetscapes and private yards that adapt to appropriate levels of water use.

Kinston HUB

The Hub is a community center in Kinston at Centerra, designed to resemble an adaptive reuse of an agrarian farmhouse and a brick mercantile building, creating a warm and inviting gathering space for residents and visitors. The facility includes a craft brewery, coffee shop, coworking spaces, a community room for events, outdoor social spaces, and a community/demonstration garden with water-wise landscaping.
