Construction Begins on 11-Story Speculative Office Building

Ryan Companies and The Excelsior Group officially broke ground on the start of 10 West End, a 343,000-square-foot, 11-story Class A speculative office building being constructed in the West End of St. Louis Park, Minnesota.

Ryan Companies will design and build the project with co-developer Excelsior Group. ACORE Capital provided the financing. 10 West End will be the first speculative Class A office building constructed in over 18 years in the I-394 corridor. Located in the vibrant West End, the new building will be a dynamic landmark for the cities of St. Louis Park and Golden Valley.

Ryan A+E is designing the building and Ryan Construction will build the project. Focusing on today’s dynamic workforce, the project will include walkable amenities, abundant outdoor spaces, strong parking ratios and modern onsite amenities including open-air balconies on every floor, a sky deck and collaborative lobby workspaces.

10 West End incorporates timeless expression with modern detailing and a distinctive roof expression. Heavy brick arches below classic punched openings give way to a much lighter glass, steel and wood expression at the top of the building. Ample outdoor space is incorporated at multiple levels and the building flows from interior to exterior, front to back, through a dramatic entry and lobby sequence. The outdoor amenity is complemented by the adjacent park and public realm of the West End district.

10 West End has immediate access to I-394 and Hwy 100 and is surrounded by miles of bike trails, 20 restaurants and over 450 new apartments. The building will be LEED certified with a free parking ramp and surface parking available, as well as secure tempered executive parking.
