The first phase includes 310 units; five units are designated as live-work units located on the first floor. Phase 1 is 4-stories with tuck- under garages, while phase 2 consists of 603 units designed as a 5-story wrap. Phase 2 will have a courtyard with a pool and Ramada and is design to be a retreat and relaxation space. Each building has trash and recycle shoots to promote sustainability within the community. Phase 1 has a community garden with raised planters, available gardening activities, providing a selection of fresh herbs and produce.
