The residential community features 173 apartments and townhomes. The first two phases, totaling 122 units, received LEED Gold certification, and the 51 final-phase units have the new ENERGY STAR 3.0 designation. Designed by Wallace Roberts & Todd, the property features one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom units with open layouts and large windows. All units feature fully equipped kitchens with ENERGY STAR appliances; spacious closets; ceramic tiled baths; washer and dryer hook-ups; and resident-controlled heating and central air conditioning.
