Across from the new Durango Resort, Vestra from Matter Real Estate Group features rental residences in the heart of Uncommons, a business retail and dining district with tenants such as Morgan Stanley, DraftKings, Deloitte and CBRE. Designed by celebrated architectural firm Gensler, Uncommons is vital to the southwest’s vibrant and growing lifestyle.
Vestra offers studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom residences and luxurious penthouses. EDI International provided the architectural design, and Jules Wilson Design created the interiors. The sleek and modern apartments comprise three four-story buildings with 352 residences, all of which give off soothing vibes.
Each residence is fully loaded with smart home technology, including a control panel offering remote access to door locks, thermostats, electrical switches and sensors. Quartz countertops, modern flat-panel cabinets with under-cabinet lighting, walk-in closets, a washer and dryer and private lockers for dry cleaning complete the must-have amenities.
As part of Uncommons’ unique nature, Vestra’s ethos creates an integrated live, work, thrive atmosphere with unique coworking spaces, including “Zoom rooms.” Additionally, a lounge lobby with bar seating allows people to fully enjoy the luxury of working from home in a community designed to facilitate it. Vestra also features a “flex” lounge for many uses, as well as a large media room and Zen treatment rooms. A parking garage with 100 percent controlled access allows for electric vehicle charging stations.
Building three, recently completed, adds a modern pool house with loungers, a bar and a grilling area with large-screen HDTVs. A spacious resort-style pool and deck include cabanas and a social fire pit—this feels like you are on vacation but at home. Vestra gives residents an indoor-outdoor training center, a lawn space, a pet spa, a social pet lawn with seating, a play area and a water station for their beloved furry friends.
Take a short stroll outside your doorstep to enjoy a morning coffee and breakfast at Urth Caffé or a smoothie at SunLife Organics. For lunch, stroll down to All’Antico Vinaio or have dinner at AMARI Italian Kitchen & Wine Shop. Wineaux offers a wine collection expertly curated by Master Sommelier Nick Hetzel paired with bites by James Beard Award-winning Chef Shawn McClain; General Admission creates a hip setting for sports viewing and modern American cuisine; and Salt & Straw is quite possibly the city’s best ice cream.
Jim Stuart, a Matter Real Estate Group partner, says of the new apartments, “Vestra was imagined to deliver a modern, sophisticated living environment. Nestled in an urban, walkable neighborhood, Vestra is simply unmatched in lifestyle.” vestraliving.com.
