Think green walls, rooftop gardens, and courtyards teeming with plants – all within the heart of the city. Similar biophilic developments are flourishing in Singapore (One North) and Amsterdam (Valley).

Urban Tranquility: Finding Your Island Oasis

This development offers a serene escape with its prime location and rooftop amenities, catering to those seeking a balance between urban excitement and peaceful living. Similar projects can be found in London (Pan Peninsula) and Tokyo (Brillia Fiore).
