New business, manufacturing, and housing projects mark a new era of growth in Wellington
Wellington, CO – With major infrastructure upgrades now complete, the Town of Wellington is turning the page to a new chapter in its 120-year history. Three large projects—a retail business center, a high-tech manufacturing facility, and a master-planned community—are set to drive economic growth and create new opportunities for residents and businesses.
Wellington Business Center
The Wellington Business Center, located at 3997 Water Lily Drive, will break ground on Phase 1 later this year. The project will bring more than 95,000 square feet of commercial space once complete, with the first phase offering 36,000 square feet across 14 units for lease or purchase.
Project manager Steve Wimp of Thunderpup Construction said Wellington’s rapid population growth has created strong demand for local businesses. Retailers and restaurants have already expressed interest, with Cushman & Wakefield handling sales and leasing. Wimp noted that Wellington’s proximity to I-25, its scenic foothills setting, and its supportive community make it an attractive location.

Kaufman & Robinson Manufacturing Facility
Kaufman & Robinson, Inc., an international leader in ion source and plasma source technologies, is expanding from Fort Collins into Wellington with a new 50,000-plus square foot research and manufacturing facility near Glow Avenue and County Road 7.
Founded in 1978 in Fort Collins, the company’s expansion will bring high-end manufacturing jobs and global recognition to Wellington. Mayor Calar Chaussee praised the project as a vital step for the town’s business community.

Sage Farms Community
Sage Farms, a proposed 300-acre master-planned community, recently received preliminary plat approval. Developed by Sage Homes, the project will include multiple housing price points and neighborhood commercial space, making it the first of its kind in Wellington.
The first phase includes 10 acres of commercial development, with up to 60 more acres planned in future phases. The design incorporates open space, trails, parks, and community gathering areas. Developer Daren Roberson emphasized that Sage Farms is designed to offer “a small-town feel with the amenities of a larger town.”
