Flynn Architects is responsible for the design. Renderings show a curtain wall facade with floorplates twisting, half parallel with Webster Street, and the other half parallel with Broadway. For office worker amenities, rooftop decks will be afforded on the third, sixth, and seventh level. The largest deck includes seating, two unenclosed meeting spaces, and an outdoor cooking station on floor seven. Landscaping by Einwiller Kuehl consists of a variety of colorful and drought-resistant plants.
