""TEN.M and m.flats redefine luxury apartment living in Downtown Columbia,"" said Robert C. Kettler, Chairman and CEO of KETTLER.

We are excited that they will continue to make Columbia an even more exciting and desirable place to live.”

TEN.M offers one, two and three-bedroom apartment homes modeled with the refined design elements of a boutique hotel featuring chef-caliber kitchens with gas cooking, quartz countertops, Kaindl wood plank-style flooring along with walk-in closets and private terraces in select units. Amenities include an inviting resident lounge with seating areas and an entertainment kitchen, a swimming pool, and a lush courtyard with outdoor dining areas, grilling stations and an outdoor TV.

Residents of m.flats also enjoy a robust amenity package including a sports bar, outfitted with ample televisions providing a variety of viewing options and a multisport simulator where residents can enjoy golf, hockey and carnival games. Additionally, residents have access to a 24-hour fitness center, an indoor basketball court and resort-style pool with hammocks and lounge areas.

“With TEN.M and m.flats opening this fall, we are excited to be able to further introduce the region to the new mixed-use vision for Downtown Columbia that increases connectivity and sustainability in both the spatial and social sense,” said John DeWolf, Executive Vice President, The Howard Hughes Corporation. “From the robust and active amenity offerings to the sustainable design touches, and convenient retail space, these two new apartment communities are incredibly unique to the market. This is one of the first of many exciting additions aimed at fulfilling the original vision for this area of marrying the best of the suburbs with the best urban environment to create a vibrant downtown.”

KETTLER and The Howard Hughes Corporation are targeting LEED Silver Certification for both buildings, offering residents environmentally friendly Energy Star appliances, low-flow plumbing fixtures, electric vehicle charging stations, and spacious bike rooms.

About Downtown Columbia

One of the first master planned communities in the U.S., Columbia, MD, was founded by legendary developer James W. Rouse in 1967. Comprised of 14,000 acres, it includes ten primarily residential villages. The 400-acre underdeveloped core of Columbia became the subject of an extensive five-year process that culminated with the passage by the Howard County government of the Downtown Columbia Plan in 2010, a guide to creating a vital area “in which residents can live, shop, work, entertain, exercise, and enjoy cultural opportunities in an enriched natural setting.”
