The north block is devoted to a 5-story office tower at the north end and one-story buildings along Arizona Ave and Washington Street.

The south block is devoted to one-story buildings and a 2-level parking structure. The buildings contain a neighborhood redevelopment office and a print center.

City departments were leasing space in various buildings, and the goal was to bring all of these entities together into one facility, therefore providing a community center that could generate pride for its citizens.
