The second phase consists of build out of commercial space on floors three through five for a law office. The final phase is construction of a two-story parking garage across the street for parking for the tenants.

The building is located in Forest City's urban mixed-use district along Richmond's riverfront in Shockoe Bottom. KBS previously performed the adaptive reuse of The River Lofts, also in the development.

The original structure was built in 1920 and housed Larus & Brothers Tobacco Company. The project will be completed by December 2006.
