Opera Apartments

In keeping with Golden Age’s position as a prestige property developer, the project features extensive luxury facilities for residents including the services of a private concierge, personal trainer, yoga instructor, art curator and sommelier. The scope of work also included construction of a private dining room, pool, gym and temperature controlled wine cellar.
