A recent significant capital improvements program set the tone for the boutique mid-rise's new image. Featured are new entries, a new main lobby with original art, and a complete redesign of the elevator cabs. The lobby is contemporary in design with wood and glass panels. There is also new stone flooring, and a much more open expansive lobby presence with seating areas and a repositioned front desk.
