Condominio The Ivy

About the condo
The Ivy stands out in the Escazú market for its distinct contemporary industrial architecture. Unlike the traditional colonial or Mediterranean styles common in the area, The Ivy embraces an "Urban Loft" aesthetic featuring straight lines, exposed materials, and a modern, youthful vibe. It is a hybrid development offering the feel of a vertical apartment with the independence of a townhouse.
