Private Condo Features
The units are spacious and wide with plenty of floor-to-ceiling glass exterior walls to allow for some expansive views. The use of 45 degree angled walls seems to extend the view plane. Units numbered 02-06 will primarily have mountain views and will generally be cooler. 01 and 07-10 stack units will ocean views at a high enough level. The building does not have central AC, however the glass walls are designed to accommodate window AC units and units on the cooler mountainside may not need AC. There are in-unit washer dryer hook-ups and the cook top ranges are electric. The lanais are not large, but are cleverly designed to connect to multiple rooms.
Best Features
A good value; bright wide units with plenty of light from glass walls; efficient modern design with 45 degree angles and bedrooms connected to lanais.
Potential Drawbacks
Original units could use updating; no central A/C ; limited guest parking; resident parking not accessible from main tower elevators.
