Apartments The project includes 60 apartments that overlook the large wetland in one 4-story building. There will be underground parking as well as a surface parking lot. The apartments will be a mix of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom units. Building elevations The design of the building includes a stepped down design at the ends of the buildings. The architectural character of the apartments reflects a railroad theme and incorporates components of the craftsman design style.

Underground parking will be provided at a ratio one space for each unit. There will also be 75 surface parking spaces.
