Designed for entertaining, kitchens feature luxurious quartz countertops and backsplash; Workstead-designed Italian cabinets with custom hardware; Bosch and Blomberg panelized appliances; garbage disposals; and custom finishes with wood accents, drawing a point of connection to the flooring. Bathrooms feature Botticino Italian marble stone floors and walls; custom vanities with pewter accents by Workstead; and frameless glass showers.
The property’s collection of amenities includes the cloud-level Rooftop Clubhouse featuring a heated outdoor pool and sundeck. Indoors, a pool lounge with an accompanying kitchen provides an indoor/outdoor environment year-round. Transitioning to the garden level, the communal spaces offer a diverse mix of best-in-class social, wellness, and remote work experiences.

For those with hybrid and remote-work jobs, a beautifully appointed Co-Working Lounge features a conference room, as well as multiple virtual meeting rooms and phone booths.
Health and wellness are cornerstones of the living experience, reflected in the Fitness Center that features equipment by Technogym and Peloton, a yoga studio and an accompanying outdoor terrace.

Additional amenity spaces include a Garden Terrace outfitted with barbecue stations and a lounge area.
