Earl Swensson designed this building, featuring two-storey economic development center and nine-story parking garage with 1,308 spaces underground. But its interior stands out amongst others; his associate, Joelle Phillips noted it was one of Swensson's "most original designs."
Phillips says the building was intended to make its occupants forget they are even in an office building by situating its lobby entrance at the corner of Commerce Street and 3rd Avenue North rather than one specific side of it. Furthermore, its lot is set catty-cornered so as not to face any one street directly.
