Planned by Alex Pearsall of Property Adventures Corp, the 18,464-square-foot project will feature a series of office suites at $25 per square foot per year. As of now, the project’s broker Baum Realty Group shows half of the floor space still available for lease. Available suites range in size from 3,191 square feet on the second floor to 3,706 square feet on the fourth floor. The offices will have prominent skyline views as well as access to a burgeoning corridor along the river’s north branch, set to house major developments such as Lincoln Yards and the Morton Salt adaptive re-use project.

Filoramo Talsma Architecture is behind the unique design, whose metal-wrapped massing tapers outward as it rises. The tapering southeast-facing side will include a series of protrusions that create a pixelated aesthetic.

Just looking at it makes us smile!
Great design and project! The first of many that will completely transform this area and the surrounding neighborhoods. IMO this stretch of Elston is set to become one of the best and most diverse stretch’s in the city.
