The area was redeveloped from the 1968 HemisFair site into a walkable neighbourhood that blends new amenities with its historical significance such as the iconic Tower of Americas, unique dining and retail options, public art and event spaces.
The building was designed by Overland Partners, with interiors by the Gettys Group and KBAA.
