In addition to the 762 apartments, the development also includes a school (the Public School 124), shops and community space as well as a day-care center. There is also an underground parking facility. The tower complex forms a large arc facing south-east, with the 44-storey eastern portion of the entity -- on the Manhattan Bridge side -- towering over the lower, 19-storey mass facing the Bowery and Chatham Square (near which the previously tallest apartment development in Chinatown, the Chatham Towers, is located). Facing Manhattan Bridge is a three-storey wing that partly extends to the 2,200 m² plaza on the Division Street side.
notes	A gift from the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association in 1976, this statue of Confucious stands before Confucious Plaza, a public housing development. The marble base, carved with inscriptions of the sage's writings are in both Chinese and English.
