The building will use a combination of brick and glass materials, creating a contrast between the traditional and the contemporary. The entrance will be more glass, creating a sense of openness and invitingness. The building will also have a decorative black metal panel accent wall, adding a touch of style and elegance to the facade.

The exterior design of the proposed 7-story building seamlessly blends modern aesthetics with thoughtful design offering a welcoming and vibrant space for individuals and families to call home. The building’s façade is a harmonious combination of contemporary lines and warm inviting elements. The portion of the building that fronts Nebel Street is designed to provide a successful pedestrian realm and a contextual response to its environment. The overall façade is a study in visual harmony achieved through intentional fragmentation.
The “F” shaped plan of the building maximizes overall yield and creates a sheltered outdoor amenity terrace that connects to an outdoor landscaped area at the rear of the site. A semi-below grade parking level provides 73 parking spaces with an additional 3 surface spaces located along the entry driveway. A 12’ x 30’ loading bay, trash room, and associated mechanical and service areas are also located at this level.
The building will be designed and constructed to exceed baseline performance codes and will meet the requirements for LEED Silver Certification. Other sustainable design features include high albedo roofing, high efficiency mechanical systems, landscaped courtyard above garage level, EV charging stations, and a solar-ready rooftop.
