Upon reaching its full height of 255 feet, the tower will offer a variety of residential units – 50 studios, 101 one-bedroom units, and 17 two-bedrooms. Unit interiors will incorporate nine-foot-high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as corner views for many of the units given its unique serrated exterior along Wells.
