The site is ideally located next to freeways, downtown Riverside and the UC Riverside campus providing a variety of plans comprising of studio, one, two and three bedroom units, ranging from 483 SF to 1,247 SF catering to a wide demographic. The development will maintain vehicular and pedestrian linkages to the surrounding retail through the site while providing ample landscaping and tree canopies creating a resort like oasis setting.

The development will feature four story residential buildings with tuck under private garages,  landscaped carports and robust site amenities to include a 3,000 SF clubhouse with direct access 2,100 SF terrace above a 2,000 SF, two story fitness, resort style swimming pool, common areas with bbq, lawn and recreation spaces.
