Peak Properties Adds Stewart School Lofts in Uptown to Management Portfolio
Peak Properties has added the luxury Stewart School Lofts at 4525 M. Kenmore to its growing management portfolio. The apartments offer amenities, and 64 apartments range from studios to three-bedroom units.
Originally constructed in 1907, the Graeme Stewart Elementary School was home to students for more than 100 years before its 2013 closing. The property was sold to Morningside in early 2016, who was the developer, general contractor, and property manager of the adaptive reuse project, which was completed in 2018.
Today, each home has a different blend of restored original details, such as wood trim, hardwood floors, exposed brick walls, chalkboards, original basketball court striping on the floor, and original doors.
Formerly unused attic space now features the property’s most unique apartments, featuring mansard clay tile ceilings, skylights, and patios with lake views. The property is managed by Peak Properties and exclusively leased by Cross Street.
