Eagle’s Haymeadow development is a complicated project. Part of that project, a 180-home portion known as Haymeadow Homes, is now under construction.

That portion celebrated its groundbreaking June 24, the kickoff to building a combination of single-family, townhome, duplex and cottage units on a portion of the large property east of the town’s pool and ice rink.

Michael Hood is part of the development group for this project. Hood said his partners bought this part of the property, known as Neighborhood A1, from the original owners, Abrika Properties, and went to work planning the new neighborhood.

That planning involved putting together a team that included RA Nelson for construction, Allen-Guerra Architecture and Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Colorado Properties for sales. Ewing Construction is handling the civil and infrastructure work. The first homes will be complete in the spring of 2026.

While this is part of the larger Haymeadow area, this part of the project is separate from the deal struck between developers, town of Eagle and Eagle County officials for workforce housing units on the larger property. Still, there are 24 workforce units planned for the Haymeadow Homes area.

While groundbreaking was only a few days ago, Hood said the sales team has already been fielding phone calls.

Kyle Denton, a broker with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Colorado Properties, called Haymeadow Homes a “unique offering.” One of the attractive parts of the project, he added, is the minimal, and in some cases no exposure to Interstate 70, either visually or audibly.

The developers, working with the builders, are “very open to optionality,” Denton said, in order to create a “diverse mix of product to a well-rounded buyer demographic.”

The goal, Denton said, is a “semi-custom” project including different finish upgrade packages.  

All of that will be in what Denton called an “amenity-rich” project.

Those amenities include pocket parks, a new home for the Mountain Tots childcare center and a trails network within the community. Other amenities will follow, Denton said.

With work on the first portion of the neighborhood started, Hood said the team might even take a reservation for a home to be built in 2026.

“If someone wants something planned…” he said.
