The building consists of 12 residential units which range from 560 to 640 m2 (6,000 to 6,900 sq ft), including two duplexes with pools. Additional features on the 3,020 m2 (32,500 sq ft) site include underground parking, swimming pools, gyms, rainwater recycling for irrigation, and electric car charge systems.
