This project has been hailed as a "powerful and beautiful addition to the skyline" and a "very striking piece of architecture" by none other than the city’s very own Design Review Panel.

The building will host 1,372 square metres of indoor amenities that will include a pet wash on the ground floor and 532 square metres of outdoor amenities found on the second floor.

A four-level underground garage will contain vehicular parking space for 108 residents and 9 visitors, 24 of which will feature electric vehicle charging facilities. As well, the condo will provide 317 bicycle parking space for residents and 11 for retail.

Besides the ground level retail space, this development looks to offer several improvements that can be enjoyed by the community at large.

Set to be expanded by 50 percent, the adjoining Delisle Street Parkette will be redesigned by landscaping architectural firm Janet Rosenberg + Studio; as well, this development will create a new pedestrian passageway through the block and introduce a public art installation to the site.

And yet, for all the hype that has surrounded this project since it debuted in the summer of 2018, we should expect nothing less from the preeminent award-winning architectural firm responsible for this development, Studio Gang.
