This is the first condominium to be built in the Minato Mirai 21 District in over 7 years. This is a planned development district with population controls. The residential population is capped at 10,000 people, which limits residential developments. The population in 2014 was 7,700.

The 228-unit building is located a two minute walk from Minato Mirai Station on the Minatomirai Line and is a 20 minute walk from Yokohama Station. Completion is scheduled for January 2017, with apartments ready for delivery from February 2017.

Tokyu are also building a 17-storey, 78m tall office tower directly on the south-eastern side of the apartment building, with completion due in July 2017.
