The existing split-level building housed a retail store and restaurant, and it was razed to make way for the new three-story structure.The site’s topography was one of the biggest challenges. Across the site, the sidewalk slopes approximately eight feet. The building’s first level has 3 different floor elevations to compensate; however it levels out on the second and third floors.

For local jurisdiction approval, the development underwent many façade design iterations before settling on a mountain modern style. The exterior materials include a mix of metal panels, Nichiha cladding, EIFS, and a stone veneer. The variation helps break down the building’s scale and stands apart from the glass stair tower at the front elevation.
