5. Cascade City

In keeping with the building’s theme of fluidity, the interiors by Sublime Interiors are bright and spacious, designed to flow seamlessly from one room to the next. The shallow suites were purposely designed to accommodate more windows, allowing plenty of natural light and creating a sense of airiness. Homebuyers have a choice of carefully curated colour and finish packages that include a light or dark colour scheme. But no matter which theme you choose, you’ll enjoy upscale Miele appliances, high-gloss, Italian kitchen cabinetry by Aster Cucine, and a stylish Aquabrass faucet and shower kit in bathrooms.
