Planned programming includes 12,000 square feet of first-floor retail, split into units between 1,628 and 2,178 square feet. Atop this mercantile component will be 200 for-rent apartment dwellings, ranging from single-bedroom up to three-bedroom residences.

Since the last update, the remaining foundation work has taken place, while the core and superstructure have begun to climb above grade.

The site, currently an empty lot, originally had plans submitted under the Illinois Housing Development Authority.
