Levy Design Partners is the project architect, with CFLA as the landscape architect and Luk & Associates as the civil engineer. The property will provide a 2,680 square foot open-air plaza.

The 60-foot tall structure will yield 72,750 square feet from the roughly half-acre site. Parking will be included for 40 bicycles and no vehicles, making use of the density bonus waivers to encourage public transit and reduce the future project’s overall carbon footprint.
