Designed by Perkins + Will, The Reed’s facade features glass and dark metal patterns, with a higher glass-to-metal ratio on the west side to optimize river views. The tower sits atop a garage podium with open-air floors wrapped in a metal screen wall. The podium garage has 300 parking spaces, and multiple transit options are available nearby.

The Reed’s interiors feature industrial chic finishes, including floor-to-ceiling windows, hardwood flooring, Bosch appliances, quartz countertops, porcelain backsplashes, custom-designed vanities with Kohler and Hansgrohe fixtures, and communal seating areas that double as workspaces. Condo owners have access to a special amenity suite on the second floor.
