The tower rises 164.3 metres excluding the mechanical penthouse, with 46,929 square metres of gross floor area including 920 square metres of non-residential space. It replaces a 14-storey office building from 1963 formerly leased to the Ontario Ministry of the Environment. Fitzrovia controls the site through a 100-year lease with the property's German owners under a renting-to-build-rentals arrangement.

The unit count was cut from the December 2024 proposal of 631 units and 51,079 square metres. Amenities include indoor space on the 18th and 19th floors and rooftop, outdoor areas, a Cleveland Clinic virtual healthcare facility, a Bloomsbury Academy daycare, ground-floor retail, and a CCxA elephant sculpture. A four-level underground garage holds 214 spaces: 194 resident, 20 visitor.
