History

Urban Partners first proposed a 37-story residential and retail tower on the parking lot of the Gethsemane Lutheran Church, located on the southwest side of Stewart Street and Terry Avenue,[4] in July 2006.[5]

Construction on the tower began in 2007. The project was completed in late 2009 and opened to tenants in March 2010.[6]

In November 2012, the tower was sold to TIAA-CREF for $165.7 million, setting a new regional record with a per-unit price of $509,760.[7]
