WingField Corporation plans to develop a luxury 40-story mixed-use tower of approximately 700,000 square feet on a prime site in the Central Business District of St. Paul, Minnesota, U.S.A. A Letter-of-Intent has been signed with a major international hotel operator for the development of a five-star hotel and residences which will anchor the project. WingField currently anticipates the start of construction to begin in third quarter 2008 with the hotel opening at the end of 2010.
The program for the Wabasha building is a combination of private and public spaces creating a destination that contributes to the emerging quality of urban life in downtown St. Paul. Primary uses will include a luxury hotel and 80 to 100 condominiums. In addition, the current plans foresee approximately fifty thousand square feet of Class A office space and a cultural venue with limited retail in the base of the tower and at the skyway level. When completed, the project will form an important link in the existing skyway network and proposes to generate additional street level access and connectivity with its immediate surroundings.
The project is being designed by David Adjaye Architects based in London, England. David Adjaye is recognized as one of the leading architects of his generation. BWBR Architects, located in St. Paul, will act as the local collaborating architect.
