we've been working with the hayes valley neighborhood association and in speaking to them there are a few things really important to them, one of which is to really activate oak street, so we added a small, 200 square foot approximately retail space on oak street and that's also the place where we have a one-lane parking entrance down to the subterranean parking garage. walking up, a typical floor plan, there's two towers to the building that are kekd, as -- connected, as you can see there, with a covered walkway that spans through the various floors of the building, through the 12 stories of building. and the roof terrace again just kind of a conceptual idea, we're going to have a really lovely roof terrace at the talk of the building with seating, lounge area, a place for people to enjoy the view which should be quite speck tack klr. -- spectacular. getting to here this will give you a better idea what it will actually look like on market street. the ground floor utility you can see and the building as it gets to 120 feet looking north, and then that's our property line along oak st
