Inspired by his very first meeting at Temple Bar with the project's developers, it was William Sofield who came up with the idea to launch two sister buildings at once. He wanted to redefine its location along 2nd Avenue and create structures so timeless they’d look like they'd been there for decades. To do this, he nodded to classic architectural features and brought back the craftsmanship, intricate detailing and ornamentation that are so iconic in the city.
