The building has reached full height, with blockwork wrapped up. Limestone and brickwork on the exterior will begin soon. The new construction permit, issued in October 2024, includes a future elevator permit which has not yet come through. According to the project page on the Barrett Homes website, En Masse Architecture and Design is the interior designer.
