Affordable Housing

20% of all residential units will be affordable at a range of incomes.

CBE Commitment

The project will create significant opportunities for Certified Business Enterprises (CBE).

• CBEs will own 20% of developer equity and will invest at least $20 million in equity
• A minimum 35% of eligible pre-construction/construction and operational costs will be awarded to CBE contractors

Superb Architecture

We are dedicated to creating a place that radiates inspired, inviting urban design and superlative architecture. The architecture team is led by the world-renowned architecture firm, Foster & Partners and includes locally-acclaimed architects, Shalom Baranes Associates.
