Proximity card or keypad entry into parking, lobbies and elevators to assure security and privacy.
Four elevators, large enough to move a baby grand piano, located so each residence is accessed through an elevator connecting to that home’s private elevator lobby.
Extensive soundproofing – both vertically and laterally – via 8-inch post tensioned concrete floors, suspended ceilings, and dual wall systems with sound attenuation blankets and air spaces.
An exterior of architectural cast stone and curtain wall, materials specified to withstand the wind and moisture challenges of the coastal Lowcountry environment.
Impact glass, which consists of three layers of glass melded into an inch-thick membrane.
A support system consisting of more than 400 concrete pilings extending over 60 feet in depth.
Ten-foot ceilings are standard, and the units are spacious and open. There are a multitude of different floor plans, which have been personalized with custom interior unfit packages. Most units include Viking appliances, granite countertops, custom cabinets, wood and natural stone flooring, and distinctive wood crown and baseboard molding along with CAT-5 wiring and extensive outlets for high-tech telecommunications and entertainment systems. There is reserved parking in the garage under each building.
