High Point is an 1,800-acre mixed-use, master-planned community adjacent to Denver International Airport, in both Aurora and Denver, Colorado. The community will include over 12 million square feet of commercial space and 3,000 residential units. Craig Karn has directed the master plan design for High Point since its inception in 2004. His team continues to coordinate with prospective builders and commercial developers, overseeing master plan and detailed development plan design, and individual neighborhoods and open space design.
The team has also collaborated with the on overall master plan refinements and developments like the Gaylord Hotel.

The Met at Boulevard One is a 3.7 acre multi-family project in Denver. The design uses drought tolerant grasses to facilitate a low water demand landscape. A traversing paths enhance pedestrian connectivity to the surrounding open space and street corridors.
Density— Low impact neighborhood design reduces the overall development footprint and increases open space preservation. The result achieves more than twice the density of traditional, low density residential development, while preserving three times as much open space.
Community — Open space locations benefit community residents, adjoining developments and public spaces.
Ecology — Open space is consolidated into larger swaths (minimizing fragmentation and edge effects) to preserve plants and wildlife habitat and reduce maintenance inputs.
History — Preserving the native landscape maintains the rustic appeal and view corridor along Leyden Road.
