According to the plans, the ground floor of the building will have a residential lobby and retail spaces. The second floor will have a health care facility and indoor and outdoor recreation spaces. Floors three through six will each have seven dwelling units per floor, while floors seven and eight will each have six dwelling units per floor. The cellar will have a parking garage for 14 cars.
