Nearby CTA L access is a seven-minute walk directly south to Damen station. Another point of interest is the nearby Winnemac Park, a two-minute walk north.

The owner is filed under Paul Coen, with Michael S. Cox as the architect of record. While no renderings have been revealed, permits show that Coen and Cox plan a masonry-clad building. In addition to the three apartments across its three floors, programming revealed in the permits also show detached parking for three cars and a roof deck. Coen Construction is listed as the general contractor.
A completion date is not currently known, though construction is likely imminent.
