Urban living and upscale condo projects have been a national trend for many years, and Boulder Colorado has finally hit it big with The Peloton Boulder (at 3601 Arapahoe Avenue). This project strives to accomplish on a grand scale what hasn’t been attempted for many years in Boulder: to provide the kind of broad-appeal to residents that share common aspirations and a passion for the challenge of outdoor activities, and the thrill of urban living.

The Peloton location offers something unique in Boulder condos: quick access to the University of Colorado (CU) campus, the Pearl Street Mall, the Boulder Creek Path, the Twenty-Ninth Street Retail District, the Foothills Parkway / Highway 36, and the projected Boulder Transit Center.

Owning a home in Boulder Colorado has often meant compromise – one that required choosing between affordability and luxury. What distinguishes The Peloton is a superb combination of attributes and appointments that you won’t find anywhere else in Boulder: Gated Subterranean Parking, Private Decks and Patios with Gas Hook-Ups for Grills, Mountain Views from Most Homes, Boulder’s only rooftop swimming pool (it’s open year-round and includes two hot tubs), a 6,000 square foot private fitness club, design by award-winning Colorado Architects, and a private movie theater with stadium seating.

Another unique fact about The Peloton is that it’s fully funded. This means that unlike many large development projects, they don’t need to sell more condos to fund the next round of construction progress. In fact, the Peloton’s fitness club is the first building to be completed, a rare turn of events in new construction.

The Peloton offers four configurations: Lofts, 1,2, and 3 bedroom floor plans. However, rather than forcing you into cookie cutter configurations, there are 20 different alternatives. Each footprint allows you to create an ideal living space. Even with the smaller residences, you’ll find flexible design, stainless steel appliances, and granite counters.

Built on the former site of the Exabyte computer storage manufacturer, The Peloton seems to be an excellent choice for the current Boulder condo buyer. Depending on unit configuration, the Peloton will consist of approximately 390 units ranging in price from $350,000 to $1,100,000. The $1,100,000 price tag is for southwest facing penthouse units (approximately $589 per square foot).
