Residence living spaces will include a formal entry with an attached powder room and an open kitchen with designer appliances, a waterfall island, and a bar. Private service kitchens will contain a second fridge, sink, and dishwasher. Primary suites will feature dual closets and a spa-grade bathroom with a freestanding bath and a walk-in rainfall shower. The interiors will showcase top-tier finishes, including natural wood flooring and quartzite countertops throughout, as well as floor-to-ceiling windows in the living areas.

Residents will have access to luxurious amenities, a full-service concierge bar, a variety of workspaces within private nooks or communal settings, and a resident coffee bar. A courtyard with a stunning community conservatory for tranquil relaxation, along with a fireplace, will overlook an exterior colonnade with lounge seating and pool views. As you explore, an expansive sunroom will await with antique fixtures and grand arched windows. Additional on-site resources will include a dog wash for dogs of all sizes with relief areas conveniently located on each residential floor. The property’s fitness center will feature a breakout flex room and an infrared sauna, as well as a year-round pool with a fully equipped catering kitchen, ideal for entertaining guests.
