A total of over 30,000 square feet of amenities, both indoor and outdoor, offers programs that accommodate individual interests and passions. Taking an approach of engagement, OPAL by element very much welcomes and encourages residents to give input to shape programming of activities within our spaces - in advance of residence opening, but also to continue on an ongoing basis.

A natural wellness providing an oxygenated infrared sauna, hydrotherapy tub, experiential rainshower, and Himalayan rock salt walls creating negative ion environment within the sauna and movement studio. The movement studio will have a dynamic program including yoga, dance, TaiChi and QiGong. The rooftop patio, with views of downtown and QE Park, will be an area for outdoor exercise classes. It will have many planters for residents to grow herbs and vegetables that will supply our kitchen. To complement the gourmet fine dining program there will also be a wine and scotch tasting bar and a piano lounge. The art room will facilitate professional art classes, and the theater will accommodate avid resident musicians and dancers.

Due to the demographics of the neighborhood, the aim is to have Chinese-speaking staff. To complement widely popular Western activities and cuisine, there will also be sound-proofed Mahjong rooms and authentic Asian cuisine.
