Renderings reveal a facade designed in sand float finish stucco, nichiha cement board siding, and cast-in-place concrete. Solar panels will be incorporated onto the roof, reducing the building’s carbon footprint. A second-floor courtyard will sit on top of the garage podium, offering seating and a lounging area surrounded by landscaping. The rooftop deck will offer commanding views of the surrounding area, while residents can work in the community garden.

The building will rise to a height of 54 feet and span a total residential area of 23,625 square feet. The estimated construction cost and timeline have not yet been announced yet.
