Given its height in relation to its surroundings, the masonry design by Pappageorge Haymes already stands prominently above the Wilson Station transit hub. The massing is set back on the ninth floor to accommodate the rooftop terrace, and takes on an L-shaped footprint to conform to the dimensions of the parcel. The exterior, meanwhile, involves mixed-color brick facade, stone accents, and a mural on the south-facing side.

Nearby bus transit includes Routes 36, 78, and 81 along the adjacent Broadway & Wilson intersection. Directly west is the aforementioned Wilson CTA L station, with service for the Red and Purple Lines.
