Loveland's latest offering in loft living -- The Gallery Flats apartment building -- will open its doors to its first residents in less than five months.

The five-story project under construction at the southwest corner of Sixth Street and Lincoln Avenue is scheduled for completion May 30.

"We're really excited about it and really proud of it," said Kevin Brinkman, president of Fort Collins-based Brinkman Partners, which is building and will manage the apartments.

"We think it's going to be a great addition to downtown Loveland," he said.

The building will contain 66 upscale apartments -- four two-bedroom live-work units on the ground floor along Lincoln, four studio apartments, 27 one-bedroom units, 27 two-bedroom units and four three-bedroom units.

Brinkman said rents will be in the range of $850 a month for a studio, $875 for one bedroom, $1,150 for two bedrooms and $1,500 for three bedrooms. The live-work units will cost $1,100, he said.

Luxury Amenities

He said the units will fit the description of "luxury" apartments. As construction progressed, the company made decisions to upgrade the cabinetry, carpets and countertops, he said.
