The 84-foot tall structure will yield around 72,500 square feet with 53,940 square feet for housing, 1,520 square feet for retail, and 2,465 square feet for the 3-car garage. Unit sizes will vary, with 12 studios, 18 one-bedrooms, and 42 two-bedrooms. Three units, located on the ground floor overlooking Blake Street, will be designated as live-work housing. Additional parking will be included for 32 bicycles.
Kava Massih Architects is responsible for the design. The facade will be clad with horizontal lap siding. Irregularly-wide two-story windows will be scattered across the exterior, and transparent floor-to-ceiling windows will wrap around the base. The filing will include affordable housing to use the State Density Bonus Program and receive protections via Senate Bil 330. The exact amount of affordable units that 4Terra plans to include is not specified.
