The 162-foot tall structure will yield 252,940 square feet, with 177,300 square feet for residential use, 12,200 square feet for common amenities, 4,580 square feet for commercial retail, 3,760 square feet for a child-care facility, and 15,130 square feet for the 59-car garage. Parking will also be included for 164 bicycles. The open space will include 3,000 square feet of private balconies and 8,630 square feet of common open decks at ground level, the 7th floor, and the 14th floor.
Of the 221 units, 82 will be studios, 50 will be one-bedrooms, and 89 will be two-bedrooms. The development will use California’s 50% State Density Bonus to create 44 very-low-income affordable units.
