Five Bridges Development refers to its project as a smart building with smart suites. Technology planned for the building includes touchscreen intercoms in the lobbies, touchless garage entry, and app-based tools to book amenity space.

The developer is requesting a building height variance to the proposed six-storeys from the four-and-a-half storeys allowed under current neighbourhood zoning. Planning staff supports the development permit and variances noting the developer plans to break up the building’s mass by using various architectural designs.
