The layout links Campbell Park and the city centre via a boulevard, with planted streetscapes and canal-front living designed to bridge urban and waterside experiences.
A distinctive feature is the “Y”-shaped footbridge that connects both sides of the canal basin, making the development more accessible and reinforcing the waterside lifestyle

Blocks 3, 4 and 5 are linked below ground via a large basement car park which is surrounded to one side via contiguous piled walls next to the public highway.
