• 418 residential units

• 725,390 SF of gross floor area
• a total density of 3.33 FAR
• open space comprising 25% of the total site area
• 940 parking spaces

The plan is proposed to be built in one phase and at full build-out is estimated to have a resident population of 800 and will support 585 jobs.
