The building will offer a modern design that consists almost entirely of gray cladding. Uniform-sized windows will be located throughout the entirety of the façade, adding simplicity to the design. The building will stand in an “L” shape.

The building will rise on the site of a vacant lot that currently includes grassy areas with trees near the borders. Although green space will be taken away when the structure is built, trees that are shown in the renderings suggest that the developers plan to include green space.

The building will provide a meaningful density boost for the area. La Salle University, which acts as one of the main drivers of development in the area, sits within a short walk from the property.
