The structure will feature full sprinkling and a roof deck. Permits list Matag Ventures LLC as the owner and Adam R. Sinclair as the contractor. Plans submitted with the planning department list Raymond F. Rola as the architect, though permits specify Kevin Korejko as the design professional. The construction cost is specified at $450,000.
