November 5, 2010 Posted In

WESTMINSTER, CO — November 5, 2010 — McWhinney broke ground on Arbour Square Luxury Apartment Homes in The Orchard Town Center yesterday. McWhinney will be holding an official ground breaking ceremony for Westminster’s newest luxury apartment community onsite on Wednesday, November 17th at 3:00 pm.
Preleasing for the 300 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment homes is anticipated to begin in the late summer of 2011 although interested parties can be placed on a waiting list which is available now. Each apartment home will feature efficient floor plans with upgraded finishes such as granite slab countertops, stainless steel appliances, crown molding and upgraded flooring. There will also be a variety of products ranging from typical one story apartment flats to multiple story townhome style products.
“We have been working with Forest City, owners and operators of The Orchard Town Center, and the City of Westminster on this project and we are very pleased to be able to bring this exciting new rental product to the area,” stated Mike Hill, McWhinney senior director of multifamily development and operations. “With Arbour Square, we anticipate filling a much needed gap in the market for an urban town center and resort style rental product that currently does not exist in the area.” McWhinney also plans to announce additional new rental products for Colorado in 2011.
At McWhinney, one of the philosophies of the company is to build sustainable and environmentally friendly products when financially feasible. In keeping with that goal, the Arbour Square community was designed using sustainable and green practices and is anticipated to receive LEED certification from the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) upon project completion. “Providing our customers with green living options is something McWhinneyy believes will become a win-win situation for both our customers and owners” Hill said. At Arbour Square, residents will enjoy a spectacular location at the north end of The Orchard Town Center with immediate access to all the retail, dining and entertainment that The Orchard Town Center offers.
The Arbour Square community will also feature:

  • efficient floor plans with upgraded finishes and flooring;
  • gourmet kitchens with stainless-steel appliances and granite slab countertops;
  • unique penthouse style units will be available on the top floor;
  • spacious walk-in closets;
  • crown molding;
  • full-size washers and dryers in units;
  • maintenance free living;
  • fireplaces in select units;
  • immediate access to retail, dining, entertainment and employers in the area;
  • mountain views;
  • multiple story townhome style living available in select units;
  • a nearly 8,000 square foot state-of-the-art Welcome Center that includes a 24 hour fitness facility, theatre and media room with 120-inch high-definition screen, conference and dining facilities, commercial grade demonstration kitchen, gaming area, cyber café with internet access, high definition golf simulator, refreshments and more;
  • Sky Lounge on the top floor overlooking the town center designed for both indoor and outdoor entertaining and events;
  • outdoor amenities at the Welcome Center and the property include a resort swimming pool, spa, fire pits, resort style outdoor dining and entertaining areas, BBQ’s, children’s play areas, tranquil water features, Zen garden and a private interior courtyard larger than a football field;
  • access to regional trails;
  • convenient and quick access to I-25; and
  • the best community programming and events in the market.

“The Welcome Center at Arbour Square will feel more like a high-end hotel or hospitality environment rather than your typical apartment community. We are looking to create a resort and hospitality feel for Arbour Square that will provide its residents with the highest quality life style and customer service in the area,” stated Hill.
Located off of Orchard Parkway in The Orchard Town Center, the 300 unit Arbour Square community is surrounded by all the retail, dining, and entertainment that The Orchard Town Center provides.
