A second full bathroom mirrors this clean, modern styling. Together, the spaces create a cohesive, urban living environment rich in character and detail. This thoughtfully designed single-floor amenity space blends industrial character with contemporary finishes to create a versatile, welcoming environment. Polished terrazzo flooring runs throughout, reflecting the geometric LED linear lighting suspended from an exposed ceiling that showcases structural beams and large-diameter HVAC ductwork — hallmarks of an industrial-modern aesthetic.

Large wall-mounted mirrors run along key sections of the space, visually expanding the facility and allowing users to monitor their form during exercise. Wall-mounted flat-screen televisions provide additional entertainment options.

The strength training zone includes a cable machine, an adjustable weight bench, and a multi-tiered dumbbell rack offering a range of free weights.

A standout feature is the refined central corridor, which showcases warm wood paneling, ornate crown molding, polished pendant lighting, and a sophisticated black-framed glass partition system with wood accents — lending a professional, upscale aesthetic to the circulation spine of the building.

Branching off from this corridor are multiple large, open-plan areas with notably high ceilings. These spaces feature exposed structural steel trusses, open mechanical systems, and polished concrete floors, offering a blank canvas adaptable to retail, office, event, or light industrial use. Several areas include existing window openings that bring in natural light, while others open directly to the exterior street-facing facade through large glazed storefronts.

The 3D floor plan model reveals a complex, multi-wing layout with interconnected zones currently mid-construction, including framed partition walls and active utility rough-ins throughout. The overall condition reflects a building with strong structural bones being thoughtfully repositioned for modern commercial use.

Modern circular pendant fixtures and wall sconces illuminate the corridor with a polished, contemporary feel. Street-facing entries include full-lite glass double doors that invite natural light deep into the interior. Adjacent open areas feature soaring exposed truss ceilings with visible structural framing, white-painted masonry walls, and concrete support columns, creating a raw, loft-like atmosphere with significant volume. A glass-railed stairwell adds a sleek architectural element connecting areas at varying levels.
