According to the scope of work, the project includes the complete demolition of the existing one-story structure and the construction of a new five-story building with a shared roof deck and two roof access bulkheads. Permit materials state that the project uses a horizontal separation at the first floor, with the cellar and first level classified as one building section and the residential floors above classified as another.
The development will provide 13 interior parking spaces, including two accessory spaces for residents and 11 non-accessory spaces that continue to serve 1212 North Delaware Avenue. Fourteen Class 1A bicycle parking spaces are also included.

Zoning records note that the parcel measures 6,089 square feet. The approved plans allow full lot coverage at the ground level with no required yards, resulting in 100 percent occupied area. The building height reaches 52-and-a-half feet to the main roof, with pilot houses and an elevator extending above that level, as specified on the zoning sheets.

The first floor contains the parking area and building entry, while the residential levels begin above the separation line at the second story. Floor plates step back at the fifth level, where the approved plans show a shared residential roof deck. Two pilot houses are positioned near the edges of the roof, and an exterior stair provides an additional access point.

The site is located near the Delaware River and Penn Treaty Park.
