Plans call for the development of six-story apartment building that will offer 49 residential units available at 100% very-low income rates. A parking garage with a capacity of 23 vehicles will be developed on the ground floor. The proposal also includes merging two vacant lots into one.

The building will be a Type-III construction over a concrete podium with smooth cement panel board siding. The façade will be laced with clear and black anodized double-glazed window assemblies, and perforated metal sunshades. Rooftop photovoltaic panel arrays serve the project electrical load.

The apartment complex will yield a total built-up area spanning 37,361 square feet. Over 20% of floor area will be dedicated to supportive services spaces including security offices, case management offices, computer lab, community meeting room, TV/social lounge, library, laundry rooms on every floor. Areas for a dog wash and bicycle wash stations, dog run, and open air decks will be created. A café will be connected to a top floor view deck.
