Thompson Thrift recently hosted a ribbon cutting celebration for Switch, a 276-unit Class A multifamily community in Colorado Springs, according to the company's announcement.
The property is located within the Polaris Pointe development on approximately 11 acres at the intersection of Voyager Parkway and North Gate Boulevard. The location provides connectivity to I-25, with access to area employers including the U.S. Air Force Academy, UCHealth Memorial Hospital North and Progressive Insurance. According to the company, residents can reach greater Colorado Springs in 20 minutes and downtown Denver in 40 minutes.

"With thoughtfully designed apartment homes, resort-style amenities and convenient access to employment, dining and entertainment, Switch offers residents a comfortable and connected lifestyle in Colorado Springs."
The community offers apartment homes in 1, 2 and 3 bedroom configurations.

Select units feature premium appliances, cabinetry with soft-close doors, a closet system with shelving and garage options.

The property also features a residence conference room with video conference technology, outdoor entertainment kitchen and community-wide Wi-Fi.
During the celebration, Thompson Thrift presented a charitable donation to Dream Centers' Mary's Home, a transitional housing program in Colorado Springs for single mothers and their children exiting homelessness.
"Positively impacting the communities where we live and work is an important part of Thompson Thrift's mission," said Tamera Greene, vice president of community management for Thompson Thrift. "We are pleased to support Dream Centers' Mary's Home and its efforts to provide mothers and children with housing and resources as they work toward a brighter future."
