Sonders Fort Collins: The Nation’s First Certified Lifelong Community

Sonders Fort Collins is the nation’s first Pre-Certified Lifelong Community. Developed by the Institute for the Built Environment (IBE) at Colorado State University, this pilot certification program identifies community design features that contribute to a healthy, sustainable, and accessible community for people of any age or ability. “The future of community design is being implemented today at Sonders,” says Brian Dunbar, executive director of the IBE. “This is truly a visionary community that is going above and beyond standard practices to create a place where people of all ages and abilities can live healthy, meaningful, and engaged lives. We’re honored that our institute has had the opportunity to collaborate with the Sonders team to develop and implement the world’s first Lifelong Communities Pre-certification and look forward to a continued beneficial partnership between CSU and Sonders.”

Sonders was designed as a Lifelong Community with a variety of characteristics in mind. Accessibility is central to the community identity at Sonders: residents can easily access the waterside at Serene Park, socialize at the Sonders Learning Center, and have their needs met with the nearby amenities in Old Town Fort Collins. Sonders also celebrates sustainability with features like EV charging stations and home lots that are designed to maximize water savings, open space, and native grasses.

As a Pre-Certified Lifelong Community, Sonders also prioritizes the health of its residents, with access to movement through the nature trails and BODY studio. The homes in Sonders reflect these Lifelong Community tenants, as well, with quality indoor environments, thoughtful lighting, and fall prevention features that allow the home to grow alongside the homeowner.

With more than a quarter of the nation’s population living with a disability, and the rapidly growing senior population in Colorado and beyond, this certification is timely and necessary – and designed for your benefit.

The Summer Open House Is a Perfect Time to Visit Sonders

A home at Sonders is more than just walls and a roof – it’s an experience that allows you to live as good as healthy feels. The community’s name comes from the word sonder, which refers to the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own. At Sonders Fort Collins, your neighbors are each living their best life, and the community is designed to support that on an individual and group level – for a lifetime.
