Seamlessly blending historic character with contemporary living, the development continues to appeal to those who appreciate both heritage and modern design. Originally designed in 1900, completed in 1909 and sympathetically converted into luxury apartments in 2000, the building retains many of its original architectural details, including the distinctive Art Deco lift cages and decorative mosaic tiling that adorn the elegant communal hallways. At its heart are two impressive central atriums, connected by striking glass and steel walkways that provide access to the apartments, creating a unique sense of space, light and architectural grandeur.
