The first floor will have retail space and the main lobby, with units starting on the second floor up to the fourth floor, each holding a full-floor two-bedroom residence, and averaging 1,600 square feet per floor. The remaining six floors will house two three-story triplexes. Balconies for the six units are all found on the southern facade. Bicycle storage will be included as part of the building for the residents. There will be a small roof deck on the top of the apartment building with a perimeter of landscaped planters.
