Optima Camelview Village

 A world-class example of how integrated design and construction can be implemented on a luxury high-rise residential project, this 700 unit community features 11 separate buildings with high-performance tinted glass and vegetated green roofs and terraces. All buildings on the 14-acre property are interconnected by public and private walkways to provide access to nearby amenities. The seven-story buildings feature units ranging from 800 to 3,000 SF and dramatic skybridge terraces that connect the buildings for easy access and unique exterior green spaces. State-of-the-art amenities include an indoor swimming pool, racquetball and basketball courts, a 24,000 SF fitness center with separate workout studios, spa/sauna facilities and locker rooms.
