The cellar of the building will have a tank fill pump room, fire pump room, switch gear room, telecom room, storage rooms, compactor room, gas meter room, electrical poe room, and water service and sewer room, according to the plans. The ground floor will be split between a community facility, residential lobby, mail and package room, and retail space. The second floor will have an eating and drinking establishment and offices. The third floor will be used for a church, while floors four and five will each be used for office space. The sixth floor will have an exercise room, terrace, and bike storage room. Floors seven through 38 will each have seven dwelling units, while the 39th floor will have three dwelling units in addition to a work/study area and dining area.
