600 Fairbanks Court is designed with 227 luxury condominiums. The site is comprised of two parcels including an empty parcel on the south half and an existing three-story building on the north half. A 28 residential floors sit on 11 stories of parking containing 215 spaces to create 445 foot tower. The typical units are developed with 10-foot ceilings. Floor to ceiling glass panels allow for maximum visibility and increased transparency. The taut enclosure defines a simple and elegant solution to the problem of high rise living.Two adjacent sites were combined in a Planned Development to take advantage of the unused potential building area from the existing building/site to maximize the area of building that could be built on the new building?s site. Then to develop an effective apartment plan floor plate the upper 29 floors of the new apartment building cantilever nine feet over the existing three story building.
