The master plan will include two structures yielding 32,250 square feet. The 40 apartments will include three studios, 22 one-bedrooms, 14 two-bedrooms, and one three-bedroom dwelling unit. Parking will be included for 22 cars and 16 bicycles with a surface parking lot.
Palo Alto-based Ko Architects is responsible for the design. Each structure will feature a variety of facade materials and variations to visually break apart the structure into distinct parts. Exterior materials will include concrete, metal panels, wood siding, and stucco.
