This Loft Living feature is sponsored by Pendar Properties.

If you’ve considering living downtown or upgrading your downtown lifestyle, this is the time to make a move.

The Dakota Flats at Cherapa Place has available studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom mass timber-style lofts, with a limited number of premium lofts remaining.

“We’ve seen an increase in leasing this spring and encourage you to schedule a private tour soon to ensure we’re able to accommodate your ideal layout,” co-developer Anne Haber said.

“Many of them are truly the size of a single-family home, with the same level of quality design and finishes. Our two-beds-plus-den and three-bedroom units boast large footprints, huge closets, luxury appliances, wine fridges, multiple patios and more.”

The building is a mass timber structure, “and we hear from people how it immediately feels like home when they move in,” Haber added.

“Being surrounded by wood is just so healing, warm and inviting and is not the typical white box. We also hear exceptional feedback about our maintenance team – their responsive and attentive service is pretty amazing and is truly an anomaly in today’s world.”

Residents at The Dakota Flats enjoy connected covered parking, bringing access to the entire Cherapa development without ever walking outside.

Enjoy morning coffee or lunch at the future Breadico cafe, wellness serves at iv&co, destination personalized shopping at Combine, a workout anytime you choose at SISU Fit and soon grocery shopping and bistro service at Pomegranate Market.

“The anticipation of Pomegranate’s September opening has been a draw for people,” Haber said. “Also, SISU Fit has been huge for our residents. It’s such an amazing fitness facility, and they’ve created a tremendous community. We’re looking forward to more outdoor classes, a walking challenge and a rucking challenge this summer.”

Residents The Dakota Flats also enjoy on-site amenities, including a private raised courtyard ideal for dog runs, outdoor dining and socializing.

There’s also an indoor community room and easy access to the bike trail.

The Cherapa Place central plaza offers a sculpted firepit, swings and yard games.

See it all for yourself with a private tour scheduled anytime through pendarproperties.com, but be sure to stop by from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 26, for the Downtown Loft Tour as well.

You can tour multiple available communities downtown, plus snap photos and take away design inspiration.

The Pendar Properties team is planning a day of fun, beginning at SISU Fit with two free classes and tours. Come at 8:30 a.m. for Britta’s Bootcamp or yoga at 9:30 a.m.

“Coffee and smoothies will be provided by Pomegranate, along with mimosas and bloodys by Bar Cart,” Haber said. “SieffStyle Entertainment DJ will fill the courtyard, you’ll find discounts at  iv&co and Combine, and a staged apartment shopping opportunity by Simply Perfect. We’re hoping for good weather to go along with it!”
