“Noteworthy features that distinguish The Current from other projects include a top-floor amenity area with a spacious covered outdoor spa, townhouses accessible from the ground level spanning two stories, underground storm water retention tanks, ‘tuck-under’ parking spaces, and a striking two-story tall living plant wall,” Rose wrote.

The building’s design has two levels of post-tension concrete decks on one side and one level on the other. It’s divided into two sections through a seismic isolating joint down the center.
