Welcome to Colman Yards. A new, catalytic Live Work Play District in Downtown Rockford, IL.

Transformation of Historic Scale.

The Site

The currently vacant 26-acre Barber-Colman site runs along the South Main Street Corridor and the Rock River, adjoining Downtown Rockford, IL. 


The transformation from this master-planned, multi-phase, mixed-use development will encompass the historic rehabilitation of nine existing (blighted) factory buildings along with additional new construction and significant site work.

 

When completed, Colman Yards will create a brand new residential, commercial, retail, recreation, and public green space neighborhood and trade district for the community and its residents to enjoy.



Once the home of a thriving multi-national company and a vibrant part of the community, we are thrilled to transform the Barber-Colman site, returning its prominence to Rockford and the South Main St. Corridor.
