Road trips have a way of revealing how quickly a landscape can change. One moment you’re winding through quiet marshes and coastal farmland. A few minutes later, the highway carries you into growing cities, busy downtowns, and communities preparing for the next wave of growth.  Our next stretch of highway follows the Atlantic Coast, beginning in the quiet corners of southern Delaware before rolling through the Carolinas into Florida. Along the way, the scenery shifts from tidal waterways and historic waterfront towns to booming business centers and some of the country’s fastest-growing transportation corridors. Every stop brings a different story, but they all share something in common. They’re all places planning not just for today, but for decades to come.  The engineers, marketers, and leaders we’ll meet along this leg of the journey are leading the charge. They’re strengthening the infrastr...

55-acre Colorado development will include 106 residences, demonstrating how 3D-printing technology can be deployed at community scale SALIDA, CO –  Construction is advancing at  Cleora , a 55-acre residential development in Salida, Colorado that is expected to become one of the world’s largest planned 3D-printed residential communities that is also its own metro district. With infrastructure complete, seven homes already constructed, multiple homes sold and additional homes under construction, the project is moving from concept to reality as developers seek to establish a scalable model for future housing communities.
