YOO at Metropica to unite design and architecture titans YOO Studio and Oppenheim Architecture + Design
SUNRISE, FL – (September 15, 2014) –The Trillist Companies Inc., a fully-integrated real estate investment and development company and the development entity behind the first residential condominium towers at Metropica, today announced that it has partnered with internationally-acclaimed YOO Studio – the in-house design offering from the global lifestyle and property design brand YOO – to design and brand the first of eight residential condominium towers at Metropica. YOO at Metropica represents the consummate union of upscale urban living, international style, innovative architecture and an incredible natural setting and will be a stunning tower with forward-thinking design, unprecedented amenities and innovative technology.
Located in Sunrise, YOO at Metropica is the first residential offering of its kind in this burgeoning area.
“By combining the elegant interior design style for which YOO Studio is known with the cutting-edge architecture by renowned architect Chad Oppenheim, YOO at Metropica will set the stage for South Florida’s most innovative and exciting master-planned community; Metropica,” said Scott L. Leventhal, President and CEO of The Trillist Companies, Inc.
Referencing grandeur of a bygone era with a contemporary twist, YOO Studio is responsible for the interiors of YOO at Metropica. The design house took their inspirations from the strong shapes of Oppenheim’s architecture as a starting point and extruded this concept to encompass their innate YOO Studio style. Throughout the common areas of this lush development, the design firm uses calm pale grey, silver and white color pallets with a pop of color to highlight each area, giving them a unique sense of individuality. The interiors of the building will be truly elegant and bold, fused together to create a calming and relaxed environment for buyers.
“We have worked closely with Oppenheim to ensure that the overall scheme, from the inside out, has a holistic message. The marriage of Oppenheim’s dynamic architecture and the YOO Studio innovative approach to designing living spaces that delight, surprise and enhance life has resulted in ground breaking vertical living that will encourage and foster communities of likeminded people,” added Mathew Dalby, Design Director, YOO Studio.
“Metropica celebrates the connection between nature and the built environment by establishing an ecological urbanism of lush native gardens and city living,” said Chad Oppenheim, founding principal of OPPENHEIM Architecture + Design. “The building expresses notions of tropical modernism, with elegant proportions, indoor and outdoor living areas and a dynamic façade that enhances life.”
Soaring 28 stories tall, YOO at Metropica will feature 263 one-, two- and three-bedroom luxury residences averaging approximately 740, 1,100 and 1,300 square feet, respectively. In addition, YOO at Metropica will also feature 10 penthouses averaging 1,900 square feet.

At its completion, the Metropica master-planned development will offer an abundance of additional conveniences and superlative experiences including world-class shopping and
dining, a five-star health and wellness center, a resort-style South Beach-inspired Beach Club, several public and civic spaces dedicated to visual and performing arts, and additional elevated recreational amenities such as a tennis club, mini-soccer fields and more.
