The amenity offerings will be spread across two separate floors, with the fourth floor containing a pool deck with grilling stations and a fire pit, a fitness center, and a club room.

With Antunovich Associates as the design architect, the new 260-foot-tall tower will be wrapped in a modern-styled facade with floor-to-ceiling windows and gray and cement board paneling. The northeast corner will also be punctuated by a triangular cutout that will serve as the entryway.
