A 21-storey mixed-use development under the Broadway Plan, featuring rental housing and ground-floor commercial space. The proposal prioritizes urban livability with a pedestrian-friendly streetscape, plaza activation, and enhanced public realm along Watson Street.

The tower placement has been adjusted to mitigate shadowing on Main Street, and corner cutouts further reduce impact while enhancing the skyline. A tree retention strategy preserves existing greenery along Watson St, with additional new plantings for continuity.

The development offers a range of unit sizes, balancing affordability and livability, with a focus on efficient studio layouts suited for the area’s demographic. The project also explores live/work and loft-style units, contributing to the area’s evolving urban fabric.
