Dawson Trails
By Jessica Car · Updated March 2026
Castle Rock's next frontier -- a 2,000-acre mixed-use development in the southwest corner with 5,800+ planned housing units, 750 acres of open space, 25 miles of trails, and a new I-25 interchange. The first 229 single-family homes broke ground in 2025 with a Costco anchoring the commercial district. Full buildout will span a decade-plus.
