At CLV Group, creating spaces that residents are proud to call home is at the heart of everything we do. Our resident-centered design and management philosophy prioritizes accessibility, community, and innovative architecture. This ensures that every development is thoughtfully crafted with the needs and lifestyles of our residents in mind. From barrier-free units to smart technology integration, we are committed to making apartment living a premier choice for those seeking comfort, convenience, and a strong sense of community.

Resident-Centered Design Philosophy

CLV Group maintains a resident-centred design philosophy in all the buildings we manage and develop. Accessibility features and updates are at the forefront of our renovations, including:

• Maintaining barrier-free units in every development;
• Creating extra-wide common area hallways to ensure accessibility for all residents;
• Designing inclusive amenity spaces;
• Improving and adding accessibility features, such as filling in sunken areas, raising elevators, and moving the front entrance for uniform ground floor elevation, when retrofitting or converting buildings (such as our office-to-residential conversions like The Slayte).

Innovative Architectural Features

CLV Group is all about maximizing space and designing with the resident in mind. This includes adding features like a pocket or sliding doors in a den so that you can easily ensure privacy if you need to use it as a guest room.

When renovating older buildings, it can be difficult to change specifics like floor plate depth, layouts, and plumbing access. That’s why CLV Group employs creative strategies to work around issues, like putting shower niches or built-in shelving in bathrooms to use space effectively. No corner of a building goes to waste, whether it’s made into a walk-in closet or a roomy cabinet to increase storage.

Community-Oriented Spaces

Community is a large aspect of building with residents in mind. CLV Group includes many community amenities to promote health and connection throughout our developments, including:

• High-tech fitness centres to save residents money on gym memberships and encourage a healthy lifestyle;
• An indoor and potentially outdoor lounge area that may include features like hot tubs, game rooms, BBQ areas, and more.
• Business centres for work-from-home residents that can be used as a space outside their unit to help improve their work/life balance.
• Yoga rooms and saunas to promote wellness.

CLV Group also organizes events in the buildings we manage, including summer carnivals, coffee breakfasts, pet photoshoots, and socials, to grow connections within the community.

Smart Technology Integration

Smart technology exists in almost every area of life to help improve daily tasks, improve energy efficiency, and make life easier. CLV Group integrates large amounts of smart technology into buildings we develop and manage, including:

• Smart thermostats,
• Smart appliances,
• Smart elevators,
• Smart parcel delivery systems,
• And smart gyms with techno-gym equipment!

You no longer need a detached residence to enjoy the convenience of a smart home - our goal is to bring smart technology and innovation to apartment living.
