Skylofts Royal Oak offers 70 dramatic residences atop a new eight-story building that also includes private parking, a fitness center and ground-floor retail.  The sleek, contemporary structure will hold a prominent place in downtown Royal Oak, as the five residential floors are sheathed entirely in glass with distinctive trim and balconies.  Inside, each loft boasts an open-plan layout affording flexible living spaces, thanks in part to 10-foot exposed concrete ceilings and island kitchens.  In addition to the panoramic city views from each home’s floor-to-ceiling windows and private balcony or terrace, sophisticated touches like hardwood floors, granite countertops, and a gas fireplace are the norm.
