Facts:
The tower's podium and surrounding plazas aim to create a vibrant urban space with increased pedestrian activity.
At its base, the tower is thinner than at the top. This is due to a 30-meter setback from the Granville bridge which will ensure that no residents have windows or balconies facing traffic. Also, the sunlight on the southern side, facing the bridge, is limited.
The building will strive for a LEED Gold Certificate.
The tower will have a triangle footprint.
The tower will be situated on a nine-story podium base.
