Architectural firm Johnson Fain recently revealed a striking design for the building, which features a wavy, fragmented façade and slender balconies. According to the firm, the building’s units will range in size from 600 to 1,300 square feet, with high ceilings and open interior space. The breezy design allows for floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as balconies for views around the neighborhood.
