Unique wellness design elements include two outdoor courtyards with a splash pad, play structure, climbing wall, and seating areas. Inside Cedar Grove Apartments, residents enjoy a large library with acoustic panels, comfortable seating, and abundant natural light.
While the owner of the two projects benefits from lower energy costs and durable windows, the many residents benefits from comfortable and quiet homes with ample natural light and natural ventilation.
