$173-million 480,000 SF development with 82 luxury condos above a 225-key conference hotel, 3-meal restaurant & adjacent 1000+ space parking structure.
completed 2008
The drop-off entrance (below left) provides separated access to a private elevator for condo owners. 164-resident parking spaces occupy the two levels below the hotel, with access to private elevators at each end of the building.
Rising 18-stories above a 5-acre site of former surface-parking, surrounded by malls & big box retail, the curtain wall & precast concrete panel facade of this tower is woven together to articulate and break up the mass of the building.
The project opened six weeks ahead of schedule and $10 million under budget.
