The 78-foot tall structure will yield around 275,000 square feet, including 141,500 square feet for housing and 8,625 square feet for ground-level office space. The podium-level garage will provide parking for 94 cars and 54 bicycles. Apartment types will vary, with 71 studios, 21 one-bedrooms, 54 two-bedrooms, and 54 three-bedrooms. Orange County-based architecture studio AO is responsible for the design. The exterior will be clad with exterior plaster and cast-in-place concrete columns.

Thomas H. Phelps is the landscape architect. The structure will feature large setbacks from the property lines, landscaped with outdoor seating, a playground, and a half-court basketball court. The garage driveway will be extending from Saratoga Avenue.
