• Residential units will be on storeys two through four and accessed via an elevator and stairwell.
• A building height of 13 metres will be permitted even though previous zoning regulations only allowed for 11 metres.

• The entire building will have a total gross floor area of 1,673 square metres.
• All exterior lighting on the building will be shielded so that it does not infringe on adjacent properties.
• The top floor would be smaller than floors two and three and include a rooftop patio.
