The Units range in size from 1,400 to 1,600 square feet (except for one) with most having three levels and roof decks. A centralized on-grade parking court is located in the middle of the stem of the "T" shaped Site to avoid the view of cars from the adjacent streets. To further distance the development from the cookie cutter craftsman projects inundating the city a modern unadorned aesthetic with flat roofs and parapets is employed. A combination of cement board panels and cedar siding are used to define the exterior of the Units and emphasize the Project's contemporary expression.
The Project was intended to achieve LEED Platinum certification and will employ many sustainable features. Some of the more significant of these elements include; the Property being a Previously Developed Site, compact floor areas, Rainwater Harvesting, use of Bio-swales along the perimeter of the Parking area, incorporation of Rain Gardens in the Common area, Rooftop Photo-voltaic Panels, Recessed CFL and LED lighting, Tankless Water Heaters, Radiant Floor Heat, Low-e Glazing at all Windows and Doors, Rain-screen Siding, Single-Ply "Cool Roof" Technology, Paperstone Countertops, Exposed Concrete Flooring, Energy Star Appliances and Sprayfoam Wall/Roof Insulation.
Design was completed in 2008.
