The building permit lists 22,339 square feet of new construction and 6,721 square feet of earth disturbance. The zoning permit was issued for the erection of an attached building with a roof deck, roof deck access structures, and a green roof. The approved zoning documents place the site in the CMX-2 zoning district and show the project using green roof and mixed-income housing bonuses. The approved use includes a shell commercial space on the first-floor primary frontage and multifamily household living with 24 dwelling units and eight bicycle parking spaces.
The zoning table lists a 6,720.55-square-foot lot, 99 feet two inches of lot width, 5,376.44 square feet of occupied area, and 1,344.11 square feet of open area. The table also lists a proposed height of 44 feet nine and three-eighths inches, a 3,225.86-square-foot green roof, eight Class 1A bicycle stalls, and five street trees. The plans identify McKean Street and South Ninth Street as frontages and show a corner-lot condition with no rear yard requirement under the approved zoning notes.

The zoning plan also shows PECO access grates, bicycle parking at the first floor, egress wells, sidewalk zones, and street-tree locations along the McKean Street frontage.
