The proposed 70-foot-tall development will yield 17,034 square feet designated for residential space, and the building will yield 25 residential units, most likely rentals, based on the average unit scope of 681 square feet.

The concrete-based structure will also have a 46-foot-long rear yard and 13 open parking spaces.
