The Building
Life between the walls
Level 5 Terrace Garden
Shared dining areas and BBQs set in a garden terrace — the building's natural gathering place for a long dinner outside or a quiet afternoon in the sun.
Rooftop Lounge & Firepits
Above it all, a rooftop lounge under the tower's tallest windows, opening onto mountain views and a patio with firepits to gather around once the sun drops behind the North Shore.
Cinema & Lounge Spaces
A cinema lounge for film nights and the big game, plus welcoming indoor lounges across both towers for catching up with neighbours.
Fitness Centre
A fitness centre in the East Tower — cardio, weights and the room to use them, without a gym membership or a commute.
Steam Room
A steam room off the fitness centre, for the recovery half of the workout.
The Neighbourhood
