The site's position at the Voyager Parkway and North Gate Blvd. intersection provides direct visibility and access to I-25. Major employers reachable within minutes include the U.S. Air Force Academy, UCHealth Memorial Hospital North and Progressive Insurance. The location places residents approximately 20 minutes from greater Colorado Springs and 40 minutes from downtown Denver via I-25.
