The scope of work includes the demolition of an existing three-story medical dental building, a two-story office building and a vacant commercial land and surface parking. Once the site is cleared, the developers aim to construct a six-story building offering affordable housing. The building height will rise to 74 feet and yield around 100,800 square feet of total built-up area, with 75,810 square feet for housing, 4,780 square feet for commercial retail, 1,600 square feet for offices, and 11,090 square feet for parking.

There will be a managers unit. The project will have a capacity for 32 cars and 50 bicycles at ground level.
