Shea Homes, through its Trilogy brand, is introducing its inaugural 55+ resort-lifestyle community to Colorado, named Trilogy Centerra, located in Loveland. The development aims to provide a wellness-centric and engaging lifestyle for residents. Sales are slated to begin in late 2026, featuring around 543 homes ranging from approximately 1,430 to 3,090 square feet, with initial pricing anticipated to be in the low $500s.
This move represents a notable expansion for Shea Homes, which has operated in Colorado for four decades and previously served as the master developer for several non-age-restricted communities in the Denver metropolitan area. The Trilogy Centerra community will be situated within the Kinston neighborhood of the Centerra master plan. Residents will gain membership to the planned Open Wellness + Social Club, a 6,500-square-foot facility designed as a central hub for homeowners, featuring amenities like casual dining, a bar, fitness equipment, a movement studio, and recovery spaces. Outdoor amenities are expected to include a resort-style pool, pickleball courts, and event lawns. Jeff McQueen, President of Shea Homes Active Lifestyle Communities, highlighted Centerra's suitability for the Trilogy brand's lifestyle experience, while Realberry Senior Vice President Kyle Harris emphasized the natural fit with Centerra's vision of connecting people through planned neighborhoods and nature.
