How many of the 50,000 commuters who drive the Turnpike to Boulder every day would choose to live within its Nirvana-like city limits, if they could afford it? Quite a few…based on the success of The Peloton, a ‘new urban’ project two blocks from Boulder’s new Twenty Ninth Street shopping district, with 18 sales since mid-June.
Take that 26-mile drive up to Boulder today and you can tour a 1-bedroom loft at $279,900 with open-style entertaining area and master suite, both under 11-foot concrete ceilings…with a Flatiron view. There’s a big walk-in closet; and contemporary kitchen with Euro-styled cabinets, slab granite and stainless appliances.
There are even less expensive new homes here…and all of them are connected by 10-foot-wide trails to super-popular cycling routes along Boulder Creek and up Arapahoe into the Pearl Street Mall.
You can also see a two-bedroom, fourth-floor pad with a drop-dead corner view of Table Mesa and the Flatirons. The price: $514,900.
At those prices, inside hallowed city limits, this was Boulder’s fastest selling project last year…on track, Peloton Vice President Peter Cushman adds, to repeat again this year, at a time when (ITALICS) Business Week ranks Boulder as the nation’s safest market to buy a home.
Peloton (the word is from cycling lexicon) even sounds Boulderesque. Residents have community bike storage rooms in addition to their 6-acres of underground private parking (many cycle to work, and one resident doesn’t own a car at all)…have special trash chutes for recycling…and a $6 million community center with fitness club, yoga-spin cycle studio, a year-round rooftop pool imported from Italy, 6,000-foot lounge for residents’ events, and a 22-seat luxury theater.
The Peloton also lies a few blocks from where Light Rail trains will one day arrive from Denver; and has the first of two restaurants open in its on-site retail plaza (Gindi Café, with coffee/breakfast fare and with wines and margaritas in the afternoon). “The most recent buyer told me that place put him over the top,” Cushman added.
You can tour the units, including a 3,260-foot 3-bed-plus-den penthouse today or tomorrow…check out Gindi…or return for a special open house next Saturday. Take Foothills Pkwy north from 36 two miles to Arapahoe, turn left a block to 38th Street, then right, and a quick left.
