The Tower, which began preconstruction in early March after a legal battle with the state over riparian rights, will feature 225 residences and 31 different floor plans. In addition, the building will boast a tennis court, indoor and outdoor pool, fitness center, putting green, a business center and a wine cellar and tasting room. Specific financial details of the project were not disclosed, but previous reports set the budget at about $300 million.

As part of the "greening" of the building, all roofs--barring a small portion of the tallest roof--will be landscaped and will house recreation areas such as the swimming pool and serenity gardens. The roofs will be designed to retain rainwater and self-irrigate, eliminating the need to use fresh water for the plants. Condensate from the air conditioning system will also be collected and used for watering. Any excess rainwater that collects will be purified and released into the Delaware River. Living walls will help filter out fumes from the parking garage. In addition, the building is set on a former brownfield industrial site, and 35% of the land will remain undeveloped, leaving some open space.

The interior of the building will also receive attention to ensure the Tower is environmentally sound. Heat will be recycled from the units' kitchens and bathrooms and used to heat corridors and the lobby areas. The floor-to-ceiling windows will be tinted and have low-E double glazing to reduce heat gain. In addition, many of the building materials will come from sustainable sources and local businesses, to reduce the effects of transportation.
