The site slopes down from Surrey Crescent, and a major selling point of the buildings are the large, landscaped roof top terraces and associated communal facilities. All residents can gain access to the panoramic 360 degree views over Auckland, including views of the harbour, Waitakere Ranges, and the volcanoes and houses of the inner suburbs. The height on the lower building was limited to ensure that the buildings closer to Surrey Crescent could still see over the top.
