At Allegro, we’re bringing to life an exceptional collection of bungalow-loft and two-storey executive residences designed around the wants and needs of today’s modern family. Meticulous planning allows us to provide flexible yet elegant spaces that showcase many of today’s most innovative and desirable features and finishes.

Indulge in areas that are wonderfully private, as well as open-concept family spaces that are perfect for everyday living and entertaining. Kitchens, breakfast areas and great rooms are bright and airy. And with large amounts of glass and oversized patio sliding doors — some up to 16 feet wide — access to rear yards and private covered loggias is seamless. The beauty of Allegro is in the details. Drop your bags and flip off your shoes in spacious and functional mudrooms. For entertaining, convenient serveries leading from gourmet kitchens to elegant dining rooms, are a dream. Throughout, added design details including oversized garages with added storage, as well as optional private elevators and dog spas, will add a custom feel.
