Amenities include on-site maintenance and management, a media and game room, a club room for remote work and study, a fitness center, a landscaped courtyard, a pet spa, a children’s playroom and outdoor playground, and an on-site maker space.
Apartment units all feature dishwashers, washers and dryers, electric ranges with range hoods and microwaves, quartz countertops, tile baths, custom light fixtures, abundant natural light from oversized windows, stainless steel appliances, and high-efficiency HVAC. Each unit also has unique, historic details and features.
The Architectural Team designed the project with Trinity Financial as the developer.
