The property is in the Downtown Growth Area. The owner of the land is the JRB Group and the architect is Architects Alliance. 

The proposed development consists of a 21-unit residential condominium development within an 8-storey building (the original plan was for 25 units). The smallest unit is 1,300 ft2and the largest unit is 3,129 ft2. Ceilings will be 10 ft. with the ground floor 16.5 ft. The 15.7 ft. mechanical room is not included in the height. There are 31 parking spots (27 for 21 owners and 4 for visitors) and lockers have been included in the plan.

TCRA Directors are still concerned with the overall height of the total building.
