Consists of two L-shaped, seven-story buildings located near existing retail, commercial, and recreational activities.
The two residential towers provide 198,917-sf of 264 1+1 E modules and are designed to be accessed via an interior corridor with dual loading.
The facility features 282 rooms and includes a rooftop terrace on the seventh floor and a steel-framed community center on the ground floor that ties the two separate wings of the building together.
The project also includes a separate one-story Central Plant Building, constructed of CMU bearing walls and a steel-framed roof.
The building is seven stories on-grade and is constructed of post-tensioned concrete slabs with a concrete shear wall lateral system and an auger cast-drilled pile foundation system.
