Clad in copper, the approximately 800-unit luxury rental community will reach 41 and 48 stories in height with an iconic sky bridge connecting the two towers. The development will feature an amenity package that will set a new benchmark for rental development, including an indoor lap pool and lounge in the sky bridge, a rooftop deck and infinity pool, fitness center, and spa.
SHoP is also designing the interiors for all 800 units, including millwork, cabinetry and unit finishes, as well as the furnishing and finishes for all of the building’s amenities, lobbies, corridors, and other public spaces.
