Ceiling fans are provided in every bedroom and living room. The successful marriage of existing site features and an innovative architectural solution make this an exceptional multifamily community that conveys an attractive and positive image to residents and the surrounding community.

Muniz Photography rates design elements that provide residents with the best of modern luxury, design, amenities and services. The project incorporates a space for retail and an area that will work well for convenience stores and restaurants. The look of the Venue was designed with a musical/theatrical theme to complement the performing arts center that is adjacent to the structure. The theme is reflected in all design elements, beginning with landscaping, hardscape, and building exteriors, including an etching of John Lennon in the entrance door. The theme is also carried throughout the project into the common and amenity areas, the corridors and the apartments.
