Designed to flex into life science R&D space, this full-block development includes two 12-story office towers above a retail podium, two mid-block skybridge connections, and three levels of below-grade parking for 471 vehicles. The building amenities include a 60- by 90-ft, multi-purpose space called The Field House at the south tower's ground level. Customized steel trusses to transfer tower building columns from above made the column-free space possible. ![](https://www.mka.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/A4631_00_N13_indesign-jpg.avif)
