From the letter of application to the Madison Plan Commission 
The proposed project is a 14/8 story multi‐family building with 453 units (studios to five‐bedroom units), commercial uses along West Gorham Street, and lobby/amenity space along North Broom Street and West Johnson Street. This project implements the adopted downtown plan, downtown design guidelines, and downtown height map with well‐articulated urban architecture, vibrant activates streetscapes, and mixed‐use opportunities. 
The overall project is organized into four distinct building expressions with two distinct towers. This approach creates unique massing and diverse architectural character throughout the building. The overall character also carefully responds to the adjoining buildings and design datum of the neighborhood.  [emphasis added]
