The Sax consists of two interconnected towers that truly live up to their musical namesake. The taller "Havana" tower soars 180 meters across 55 stories, while its companion "Philadelphia" reaches 82 meters with 26 floors.

The project includes a seven-story, 505-unit market-rate apartment building, a five-story, 132-unit, 100% affordable apartment building and 100 for-sale townhouse units configured in 14 three-story buildings.
