It includes 204 units of affordable housing and 26 micro retail spaces for small businesses, fostering economic growth and community engagement. Future phases include a hotel, park, and additional retail spaces, creating 143 jobs and generating $14.3 million in payroll upon completion.

NOBIS Rehab Hospital

An infill development located at Mountain and I-25 will deliver a 48-bed inpatient rehabilitation facility for New Mexicans in need of intensive care.

The project will play a vital role in addressing gaps in New Mexico’s healthcare system and improving access to essential rehabilitation services.

New Mexico United Stadium

Location: Balloon Fiesta Park
Date: April 2024

A state-of-the-art, 5,000-seat multi-use stadium is planned for an infill site within the Balloon Fiesta Park.

The stadium will serve as a significant investment in the community, creating a vibrant gathering space and elevating the quality of sports and entertainment facilities in the state.
