    Optima Verdana® introduces the newest version of Optima’s signature vertical landscaping system to the Midwest. This innovative design is crafted to remain green year-round, surrounding residents with a lush evergreen landscape.

    Large yet cozy courtyards and terraces—including a private open-air haven at the building’s core—highlight outdoor living with ample privacy and access to over 1,500 square feet of vibrant greenery and 7-foot-high garden walls. Whether relaxing in the landscaped sky deck garden lounge or tending the community herb garden, our focus on organic environments creates a sanctuary that is both impressive in scale and deeply rejuvenating.
