The property site spans an area of 3.08 acres. Updated proposal states that the office complex will span an area of 900,000 square feet and rise 194 feet in height. The ground floor will include a double-height lobby and amenity space. The curtainwall facade will be broken for six sections for inset employee balconies, which also serve to illustrate the scale of the above-grade on-site garage.
The total rentable office space allocated is 403,400 square feet and R&D space totaling 403,400 square feet. Space designated for a 923-car garage is 367,730 square feet. Bicycle parking will be included on the ground level in a 900-square-foot room next to the open cafe.

The building will span less than half of the property, opening up the rest for a stone cobble road, trees, plants, and the public bay trail. Landscaping amenities will include a shoreline plaza, a lawn terrace, and a sloped garden.
