Slated for mixed use, 30,000 square feet on the ground floor will be reserved for commercial space, and the upper five stories will contain 100 mixed-income residential units ranging from efficiencies to one- and two-bedrooms. Half of the units will have private balconies. Potential uses to occupy the commercial space are a 10,000-square-foot early childcare center with dedicated outdoor play area and learning garden; resident fitness center; a food market; an urgent care clinic; and a multi-purpose business center.

A mix of glass, glazed block, and metal panels will characterize the building’s exterior, with intentional contrast between the lower and upper floors to de-emphasize its mass. The steel and concrete structure will feature a 5,000-square-foot hardscaped rooftop plaza over the commercial space facing Wyalusing Avenue that will be accessible from the second floor. A green roof to support stormwater management is also planned.
