Additionally, the building consists of a basement level of office space and gymnasium. The building’s first floor level will consist of retail stores including a CVS, the second floor level will consist of parking, and the third to eighth floor will house apartments.
Racanelli used a cast-in-place concrete superstructure along with a brick and metal panel exterior façade, featuring a variety of different colored bricks with silver metal panels as the set back. Punch windows and self-contained Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners (PTAC) units were also installed.
In addition to the apartments, medical office and retail space, the building layout will encompass a courtyard, terraces for apartments on the third and seventh floors, as well as 20 balconies.
