The 42-foot tall structure will yield around 40,900 square feet, with 27,280 square feet for housing and 14,100 square feet for the 28-car garage. Additional parking will be included for 43 bicycles. The structure will feature around 8,550 square feet of open space, including the rear lot and planters, the landscaped podium-capping courtyard, and private unit terraces.

Oakland-based Dinar & Associates is responsible for the design. The colorful exterior will have setbacks, a top-floor terrace, and a bold wood-lined covering. Facade materials will include fiber cement panels, exterior wood, aluminum shading, and perforated metal sheet decoration.

The 0.4-acre property is located between Hollis Street and San Pablo Avenue. Residents will be just five minutes away from the Emeryville Amtrak station via bicycle. The Ashby BART Station is just over a mile away in the opposite direction.
