Building-level amenities include but are not limited to a fitness center, controlled-access garage parking, a bike parking and repair station, a dog park, and a pet spa. Most notably is a feature-packed rooftop deck with lounging areas, a fire pit, grilling stations, and wifi.

The development has also been touted as heavily sustainable, according to the general contractor LG Construction Group’s website, having targeted a score of 100 under the EPA’s Energy Star program.

The project’s architect is FitzGerald Associates Architects, responsible for a mixed-material facade design, containing brickwork, metal paneling, and stone siding. Renderings also show overhanging balconies attached to a portion of the units, as well as a glass-enclosed lobby area.

Located just west of major commercial corridor N Milwaukee Avenue, residents will have a multitude of retail and dining options within the area. The site is also transportation-friendly, with a variety of public transportation options nearby. Less than a minute walk east is the intersection of Milwaukee & California, with stops for both the 56 and 94 buses. The 74 bus, meanwhile, is also in the vicinity, with stops at Fullerton & Milwaukee via a four-minute walk northwest. The CTA L Blue Line is also immediately available, with availability at California station less than a three-minute walk southeast.

Within a 10-minute walk are also Palmer Square Park and Logan Square Park, located an eight-minute walk southwest and 14-minute walk northwest, respectively. Additionally, the elevated Bloomingdale Trail, also known as The 606, can be found via a 14-minute walk south.
