Located at 221 Howard St., the property is two blocks from the Thames River and next to Fort Trumbull State Park. Many apartments have river views or views of the park.

General Dynamics subsidiary Electric Boat is headquartered across the street, while employers like Deloitte, the U.S. Coat Guard and Lawrence + Memorial Hospital are located nearby.
