In early 2010 McWhinney will break ground on Lake Vista, a 303-unit luxury apartment community on the eastern shores of Equalizer Lake in Centerra. Lake Vista will provide residents the ultimate in amenities, service and quality of life. Located off of Rocky Mountain Avenue in Centerra, the approximately 15-acre site is bordered by Equalizer Lake to the west, Rangeview Office Campus to the north, Medical Center of the Rockies to the east, and Eagle Ridge Apartments to the south.

With an anticipated opening in the early fall of 2010, Lake Vista will offer energy-efficient studios as well as one, two and three-bedroom apartment homes. The community will feature:

• Efficient and open floor plans with upgraded finishes
• Kitchens with stainless steel appliances and granite slab countertops
• Spacious walk-in closets
• Crown molding
• Full-size washers and dryers in units
• Oversized patios or balconies
• Fireplaces in select units
• Vaulted ceilings and lofts in select units
• Access to community trails
• Lake and mountain views
• State-of-the-art Community Center

The amenities and location of Lake Vista create a quality of life rivaled by no other apartment community in the region. The Welcome Community Center will include a 24-hour fitness facility featuring new high tech cardio equipment with embedded 15” touch screen monitors. You can enjoy a movie, watch the big game or play a Wii video game in the media room with a 120” HD screen. Residents can also play a game of shuffleboard or pool, enjoy the Wii Zone in the game room or enjoy a cooking demo in the commercial-grade, gourmet kitchen and dining room. There will also be a Cyber Café and conference room facility available for business needs, complete with computers and internet access. The outdoor amenities include resort style water features, a swimming pool with 25-meter lap lanes, a hot tub and expanded deck area as well as a fireplace and outdoor kitchen and entertainment area.

In addition to spectacular lakefront and mountain views including Long’s Peak and the Front Range, residents will enjoy immediate access to miles of trails and walkways, 275 acres of lakes, wetlands and open space, as well the retail, dining and other services offered by Centerra.
