Silverstein Properties worked with international design firm Jeffrey Beers and architecture firm A + I to lead the capital improvements that modernized elements within the building and provided a workplace environment that meets the evolving needs of both traditional and creative office tenants. Upgrades of common spaces include redesigning the building’s main entrance and lobby with a new day-to-night juice and cocktail bar, a grab & go market, additional seating, and collaboration areas. The company also planned a new amenity destination for building tenants on the 54th floor that features food and beverage options and an event space, as well as a full elevator modernization program. Now completed, US Bank Tower sports a look and feel more in line with the world’s leading boutique hotels. Informed by hospitality design, Silverstein’s repositioning plans transformed all aspects of the building to create a workplace environment that meets the evolving needs of the modern workforce.
