The building consists of one, two, three and four bedroom units in four stories over a podium along with three bedroom townhouses. The at-grade units face the street creating an engaging, active and safe streetscape. Each building has a landscaped courtyard on top of the podium and community space. Emphasizing energy efficiency, occupant health and durability, the project is designed to meet LEED for Homes Mid-Rise Gold Certification and exceeds the 2008 Energy Code requirements by 15% and includes 25% fly ash or slag in the concrete.
