Built in 2020, The Iron Lady is a premier top-floor corner residence that perfectly balances modern sophistication with the spirited energy of Old Town. Flooded with natural light and boasting rare access to two private balconies with sweeping city and waterway vistas, this chic one-bedroom retreat offers a luxurious urban sanctuary for your next extended stay.
The Experience
Living at The Iron Lady means enjoying the ultimate in downtown privacy and architectural design. Being a top-floor corner unit, the space feels exceptionally quiet, bright, and airy. Seamlessly transition from the high-end open-concept interior to your dual private balconies to catch the evening breeze over the water. For a change of pace, step into the building's beautifully manicured private courtyard—a lush, peaceful green space hidden away from the fast pace of the city.
