The 6-story building features 5 floors of studio apartments and 1-bedroom units. The ground floor features a library room with a computer lab, community meeting space, and offices for case management and support services.

A great many sustainable and health-promoting elements have been incorporated into the design of the building including several design features which are used for the first time on an affordable housing project in this region. Notable among these is a green, vegetated rooftop which uses sustainable technology to cover surfaces with lightweight soil, allowing residents to plant everything from vegetable gardens to wildflowers.
