Development

The building was originally designed in 2006 as condominium building, but economic conditions stalled construction.[1][2] Revised plans for the building were approved in early 2016.[3] Later that year, the developer announced construction would begin before 2017, and that tenants could begin living in the building as early as 2018.[4] Work began in October.[5] The building is designed to provide maximum natural light.[6]

Financing was provided by Arkansas-based lender Bank of the Ozarks.[7]
