COLORADO SPRINGS —Tech giant Hewlett-Packard appears ready to sell about one-third of its scenic, 365-acre campus on Colorado Springs’ northwest side, according to documents the company has filed with city planners.
The Palo Alto-based HP, whose history as part of Colorado Springs’ technology industry dates to the early 1960s, recently submitted plans to the city’s Land Use Review Division that show the company wants to replat about 200 acres of its property. HP’s campus is northwest of Interstate 25 and Rockrimmon Boulevard and south of the Rockrimmon neighborhood.
The replat would create four parcels:
– A 47-acre parcel that includes a 28-year-old 300,000-square-foot office building;
– A 21-acre parcel with a 250,000-square-foot corporate data center, built in 2009;
– Two vacant parcels, totaling almost 128 acres. Last year, HP demolished a two-building, former manufacturing plant that had occupied at least a portion of the vacant land.
In the documents it submitted to the city, HP states that “the replat supports the sale and redevelopment of the vacant properties.”
HP declined to comment on the documents or its plans for the vacant land.
