The 22-story office tower will be situated on approximately two-acres of land on Sunset Boulevard and will boast of 490,000 square feet of offices, 20,000 square feet of restaurant space as well as a 14,000-square-foot screening room.

There will be a rooftop dome atop the 420 foot structure encasing a sky garden and restaurant space. An additional two gardens are planned on the 10th and 17th floors. A funicular will run up the side of the building with access to the two gardens.
