It has a 3-step-up entrance with a 1-story limestone base with three pairs of columns at its entrance. The dark red-brick building has stringcourses at the 2nd, 4th, 5th and 8th floors and attractive marble lunettes above the third floor.

The building has a cornice and an exposed rooftop watertank. Its facade is distinguished by two bays of bay windows in the center.

The pre-war building has globe lanterns on stanchions at its entrance and the facade has a few protruding air-conditioners. It has consistent fenestration with 9 over 1 windows. It has no sidewalk landscaping.

The February 7, 2006 acquisition loan mortgage is for $11,534,220 and a construction loan mortgage is for $4,634,720.

Extell has submitted a "red-herring" offering plan to the Attorney General's office.
