In 2015, The Excelsior Group, with its partner Ryan Companies, replaced the original developer after their decade-long effort to launch the project proved unsuccessful.  The Excelsior Group identified the opportunity based on its intimate knowledge of the area earned through the development of the nearby Flats at West End multifamily project and award-winning office park repositioning of the West End Office Park.  Together, The Excelsior Group and Ryan Companies navigated the unique challenges of developing a property situated in two cities and broke ground without any signed leases fueled by a collective conviction in the strength of the market.  The Excelsior Group and Ryan Companies leveraged their reputations and expertise to attract institutional investors, WhiteStar Advisors and ACORE Capital, to capitalize the construction.

The market has rewarded The Excelsior Group and Ryan companies for their efforts, expertise and courage: the Transwestern leasing team has attracted 13 premier companies that have collectively leased more than 70% of the 11-story, 345,000 square foot building within six months of construction completion.
