Developed by Bosa Development and designed by Vancouver-based James KM Cheng Architects, the roughly 273,000-square-foot project sits at the convergence of the Marina District, East Village, Little Italy and Cortez Hill. Sales and permitting activity advanced through late 2025, with construction anticipated to begin in the 2026–2027 window and delivery targeted around 2027; amenities, floor plans and pricing have not yet been released.
