The Harmony Road corridor along I-25 is the primary commercial node, hosting Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Broadcom, and other technology employers in campus-style office parks. Downtown Fort Collins along College Avenue and Old Town Square has a walkable mixed-use environment that supports boutique retail, restaurant, and office tenancy at premium rents. The southeast I-25/Highway 392 interchange area near Centerra in neighboring Loveland has emerged as a retail and medical office growth center.
