The surrounding area is primarily single detached dwellings while to the west is part of the Natural Heritage System that includes the Don River Valley and Earl Bales Park.

The development will involve the demolition of 7 of the 10 existing rental buildings and the construction of 5 new buildings, consisting of 1 building with 11 storeys and 4 towers ranging from 19 – 27 storeys. The total residential GFA of the site will be 1,387,403 sq.ft. The development will also feature 5 townhouses and provide 20,050 sq.ft for retail and commercial use. 268 replacement units will be provided and include a mix of affordable and mid-range rents. The redevelopment will also include a new public park on the eastern edge facing Easton Avenue. A westward extension of Bogert and Poyntz avenue along with a new pedestrian access into the ravine creating a new vibrant mixed use community within North York.
