The project is a seven-story building at the corner of South 32nd and Reed Streets in Grays Ferry, South Philadelphia. It would hold 49 apartments, about 1,200 square feet of ground-floor commercial space and 10 structured parking spaces. The building would stand up to 96 feet tall.

A local news site reported in September 2025 that city building permits had been issued. It put construction cost at roughly $8.1 million and said work could start soon. The site is zoned for mixed commercial and residential use, so the plans reportedly fit the rules without special exceptions. A real estate post describes the site as a small parking lot. No opposition, hearings or tenant announcements were found.

The building also includes a second-floor terrace and 21 bicycle spaces.
