This build-to-suit office/retail facility is located in the western Chicago suburb of Wheaton, at the intersection of Liberty Drive and Cross Street, in DuPage County.

The architecture of the building features a monumental, neo-classical design that conveys the stability and durability that are traditionally associated with financial and civic buildings. The classic style architectural precast features rusticated surfaces, keystones, cornices and arches. The site totals 1.64 acres and will include a four-story, 141,600-square-foot, garage providing parking for approximately 428 vehicles with executive basement parking. The first floor of the building is intended as retail space.

The building's base is two stories in height and employs a tall arcade on two sides at the ground level to provide covered, pedestrian-friendly circulation alongside shop windows and past the main lobby entrance. A projecting cornice defines the top of the building's base. The remaining, upper two stories employ a series of tall piers that support arched openings. Color contrasting curtain with window framing and spandrels infill the arched openings. A frieze and projecting cornice crown the top of the building.

Wheaton Property Partners will own the property and First Trust Portfolios will be the anchor tenant on the third, fourth and fifth floors of the five-story building.
