A CHARMING SETTING FOR STYLISH LIVING

Surrounded by older homes, embassies and an established neighbourhood vibe, The Charlotte takes its place in historic Sandy Hill.

With reverence to the organic nature of the neighbourhood, The Charlotte fits in seamlessly; standing as a tribute to architectural sensitivity and the delightful melding of modern lifestyle with a deep respect for the past.

The Charlotte exemplifies the principle of seamless integration with the neighbourhood. The Charlotte’s presence is organic – a natural addition to a traditional neighbourhood punctuated with tall trees and old homes. Rising 14 storeys with 197 suites, The Charlotte is a blend of brick and precast, with ribbons of brick rising from street level to the third-floor tower and to the sixth-floor on the adjacent podium.

Offering a mix of studio, one-bedroom, one-bedroom plus den, two-bedroom and two-bedroom flex or den residences, The Charlotte has been thoughtfully designed to reflect the needs of contemporary life. Working kitchens that save space yet have it all, floor-to-ceiling windows that open the suite to a world of light and views, luxurious bathrooms and elegant finishes that are functional and beautiful.
