There are 105 total units in the building. A theater, gym, a laundry room and 53 bicycle parking spaces will be found in the cellar (53 parking spaces for cars will be located off-site). A health care facility will occupy part of the ground floor space along with retail. The second floor will house a daycare for children ages 1 to 12 and outdoor recreation space. Another outdoor space will be on the sixth floor.
