The 195-foot-tall, Antunovich Associates-designed building features a three-story podium and multiple setbacks above, including an amenity rooftop terrace with fire pits and grilling stations. The building’s massing integrates seamlessly with the surrounding neighborhood.

The exterior of the building will be a mix of brick, glass, and bronze painted metal. The tower will have private balconies that stick out, further adding to the design.

  1. Article is misrepresenting design architect, it is KTGY.

    • Hi Joe, Tandem’s website has listed Antunovich Associates as the architect. Is there an additional attribution/role that KTGY might have had?
