Wellness-Centric Living: AKRA residences, located in the bustling Yonge and Eglinton neighbourhood, offer a peaceful haven amidst the city's vibrancy. From community-driven spaces to thoughtful amenities and serene residences, every aspect is meticulously designed to prioritize wellness. The development stands at the intersection of Eglinton Park, Sherwood Park, and Blythwood Ravine Park, providing residents with rejuvenating natural spaces.

Five Pillars of Wellness: AKRA's design philosophy revolves around five pillars of wellness: health, fitness, sleep, nutrition, and mindfulness. These pillars form the foundation for a healthy lifestyle, fostering daily rituals that transform ordinary activities into meaningful experiences.

Minimalism and Mindful Living: In an era dominated by consumption, AKRA advocates for mindful living and challenges the status quo. The homes are generously proportioned, featuring built-in storage solutions to facilitate organization and minimize clutter.

Serene and Soothing Spaces: AKRA homes feature a calming neutral color palette, creating a serene atmosphere. Optional bespoke lighting systems allow residents to control ambient light levels. Evening routines are thoughtfully designed to promote quality sleep, with rituals like bedtime preparations and positive intentions setting the stage for a restful night.

Crafting Experiences at Home: The experience of crafting a drink or preparing a meal is highlighted. Kitchens boast a beautiful, two-tone design with top-notch appliances, open shelves, and optional islands for storage. Every step, from selecting ingredients to savoring the final product, is encouraged as a mindful and enjoyable process.

Skincare and Modern Bathing: AKRA promotes the ritual of skincare and bathing as essential self-care practices. Bathrooms feature quartz countertops, custom vanities, and organized storage. Optional upgrades, such as front-lit mirrors and floating quartz shelves, enhance the chic and modern feel.

Nature, Movement, and Fitness: Residents are encouraged to care for indoor plants, fostering a sense of calm. Physical activity is presented as a daily ritual, offering options like yoga, pilates, running, and weightlifting. The fitness centre at AKRA is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and Aura Air filtration for optimal health.

The 7th-floor wellness centre offers a range of programs and water treatments for residents seeking holistic health optimization.
