to widen the sidewalk.

Member of the Public - Rachel Loeb

There are no street trees, put in street trees, sort of address the public realm and be a better neighbor.

Member of the Public - Rachel Loeb

I'll let Chris answer more questions, but we will be not only meeting but exceeding code around sustainability.

Member of the Public - Rachel Loeb

It'll be an all-electric building.

Member of the Public - Rachel Loeb

And we really looked at, and he'll show you, contextual materials.

This came out of conversations as well with the community board.
