Building B will span 78,580 square feet with 99 units. All rental units will be one-bedrooms, save for a two-bedroom unit in each structure for managers.
The 60-foot development will include parking for 36 cars and 64 bicycles on the 1.08-acre site. Residents will find access to 11,480 square feet of common space split between outdoor family areas, an interior amenity center, and a courtyard.

Southern California-based Architects Orange is responsible for the design. Facade materials will include stucco, brick veneer, fiber cement siding, metal awnings, and perforated metal panels. The stucco will be painted with various grey tones and bright red, contrasting with the wood-look fiber cement siding.
Pleasanton-based Ruggeri-Jensen-Azar is the civil engineer, and Thomas H. Phelps is the landscape architect. Landscaping will be featured throughout the project with various trees along the streetway and fifth-floor terrace on Building A.
