Planned by CEDARst and Origin Investments, the project will host 202 apartments as well as 7,600 square feet of retail space. The project lies within in a federal opportunity zone, whereby the developers agree to build in an economically distressed vicinity in exchange for tax incentives. Seven of the on-site units will also be affordable, a figure that was approved prior to an updated housing requirement, whereby at least 20 percent of units must be affordable for new projects in the area.

Located at the intersection of N Lincoln Avenue and W Farragut Avenue, the corner lot is currently home to an existing one-story commercial building that is vacant and will be demolished. Grand Properties Acquisitions is the developer behind the project.
