The Fifth is a mid- to high-rise condominium completed in 2007 in downtown Royal Oak, offering one- to three-bedroom residences across multiple floors. Architecturally the tower emphasizes large expanses of glass and private terraces; many units feature floor-to-ceiling windows, dual balconies or terraces, and open-plan living that maximizes daylight and city views. Interiors commonly include hardwood floors, granite or stone counters, high-end kitchen appliances, built-in audio wiring, programmable thermostats, in-unit laundry and solid-core doors; several units are pre-wired for home automation. Shared building elements include a staffed doorman/concierge lobby, elevator service, an on-site fitness room, bike storage, secure heated garage parking with deeded or assigned spaces, storage lockers, backup generator and controlled entrances. Exterior features and property maintenance are managed onsite, with gated access and maintained grounds. HOA dues commonly cover gas heat, water and refuse and the building supports utilities and services to reduce maintenance responsibilities. Pet and specific parking policies vary by unit; many listings reference two parking spaces or heated single spots. Located steps from restaurants, theaters, parks and transit options in Royal Oak’s downtown core, the building is designed for low-maintenance urban living with panoramic views of the city and, on clear days, the Detroit skyline.
