The proposed building will stand 208 feet high and contain 82 rental units - with apartments taking up floors 4 through 15 and 17 through 21. Amenities include bike storage on 10 floors, a study room on floors 6-13, and a lounge and laundry room on the 16th. Perkins + Will Architects, known for designing the New York Police Academy in Queens, will be designing the project.

Apartments come with a fully-equipped kitchen, free high-speed internet and cable tv, gym, concierge, secured entrance, common living and dining area, bathroom, bed, dresser, and study desk with a lamp.
