The 10-storey block has a double height arcade frontage to Mayor Square housing restaurant and bar with mezzanine uses. The upper eight floors comprise 49 apartments, and the outer brickwork frame gives the terraces serving these apartments a greater sense of privacy while taking advantage of the views to the mountains in the south. Each apartment receives southern sunlight.

Each block is unified in elevation by a dramatic overhanging steel roof, providing shelter at penthouse level and reinforcing the new urban edge of Mayor Street. The entrance is on Mayor Square with each block overlooking a common landscaped courtyard area.
