The 74-foot-tall structure is expected to yield around 126,500 square feet, including 69,630 square feet of housing, 39,570 square feet for the podium garage, and 2,590 square feet of amenities. Of the 87 rental units, there will be 11 affordable homes, including eight very-low-income units and three low-income units. Unit sizes will vary, with 48 one-bedrooms and 39 two-bedrooms. Parking will be included for 93 cars and over 90 bicycles.
Design and Architecture is overseeing the project. Illustrations show a busy collage-like facade with a mix of materials, articulation, and private balconies. The structure includes a full-height mural overlooking the cul-de-sac. Facade materials will include stucco, metal siding, brick veneer, wood-like panels, and precast cement.
