BUILT ON A
STRONG
FOUNDATION

Fading West exists to build thriving and connected

communities by reimagining the construction industry.

Our Story

Fading West began in 2016 with what we thought would be a one-off development project called The Farm at Buena Vista. Named after a Switchfoot album that our Founder and CEO was particularly fond of, Fading West was created to ensure that the prospect of attainable homeownership did not fade away for people living and working in the mountain towns of Colorado and across the Western United States.

Fading West has continued to evolve, and is now a fully integrated design, development, manufacturing, construction, and property management company rooted in LEAN processes and a culture of continuous improvement. But our commitment to attainable housing for the workforce has not changed.

Listen to our CEO and founder, Charlie Chupp, describe the growth and evolution of Fading West.

From the first homes at the Farm in Buena Vista to the completion of our factory, our mission has driven everything we do. Today, we are building homes and communities for workforces across the state of Colorado.

Our vision is to eliminate the housing crisis for the workforce and the communities they serve.

In November 2021, Fading West opened its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Buena Vista, CO.  The 110,000 SF facility offers high quality residential homes across a range of floor plans including attached and detached single-family homes as well as garden style multi-family product.

Located in central Colorado, Fading West is ideally positioned to provide cost-effective, high-quality modular homes to communities across the state by selling to like-minded developer/sponsors as well as for our own development projects. Modular manufacturing carries significant advantages over stick-built competitors as costs are reduced by as much as 20%, while the entire timeline to build can be reduced by more than 50%

Our Mission is to create attainable, high-quality, architecturally interesting, diverse communities.
