The site is 4.5 acres, with a 49,900 square foot office building that will not be demolished, and a surface parking lot. Plans propose offices that will be 22 stories tall, reaching 320 feet in total. The inside space will have 394,800 square feet of floor area. 100,054 square feet of open space will surround the circular structure, including a mixture of trees, paths, and green landscape. Seating, gathering, and pedestrian paths will lead to a park venue that will surround the building and roof.
