  • 104 rental apartment units
  • 51 studio units, 27 one-bedrooms, 20 two-bedrooms and 6 three-bedrooms
  • a total density of 5.03 FSR
  • a building height of 99 feet
  • 50 underground parking spaces

The application is being considered under the Southeast False Creek Official Development Plan and Secured Market Rental Housing (Rental 100) Policy.

Cressey acquired the site in December 2015 for $16,000,000, or $261 per buildable SF based on the expected rezoning.

The architect for the project is Chris Dikeakos Architects.
