The residential towers are arrayed along the south side of the lake adjacent to a large public park.  The office towers are arrayed along the north side of the lake providing exposure and public presence along the Thruway.  At the east end of the site is the retail and conference complex.  Public spaces interconnect the various centers and parking is provided below each.
