164 and 166 Isabella Street are listed in the Heritage Register of the city, and 168 Isabella Street is named under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. Both date from the late 19th century and remain in the residential building today. The proposal provides to move these buildings closer to Isabella Street and integrate them into the podium of the new tower. The nature conservation work monitored by GBCA architects would restore lost characteristics, including a wooden veranda of 164–166 and a balcony in the third booth with 168.

The tower rose to 233.7 m and sat over a podium with the moved cultural practitioners on the side of the road. The building is planned with a coarse floor area of ​​46,434 m², which results in a floor surface index of 26.36 -fold cover for the 1,760 m² assembly, all of which are dedicated to living use.

The project would deliver 627 market times rental units and 33 tenant substitutes from the existing housing stock. Plans for equipment include 2,237 m² indoors and 412 m² outdoors. Interiors would be distributed over the first four levels and the 69th floor, whereby the amenities outdoors concentrate on the 4th and the roof level.
The vertical circulation would be treated with six elevators with an average per 110 units, which indicates that fast-normal speed engines would be required to offer immediate service. No parking spaces for vehicles with four visitor parking spaces on the surface level are planned. In the two -story underground garage, 298 long -term and 76 short -term bicycle parking spaces and 10 publicly accessible places were accommodated in the class.
