The new headquarters building, designed by Gensler, will have 136,000 square feet of office space and 8,000 square feet of street-level retail and restaurant space. Upon completion, the building will be home to up to 300 Starwood employees.

Tenants will have access to a private courtyard and exterior corridors throughout the building. Other property features include a publicly-accessible pedestrian paseo surrounded by lush landscaping and water features on the south side of the property. Coastal Construction is serving as the project's general contractor, and the developer is Integra.

The deal's participants had to make adjustments as the coronavirus crisis deepened near its completion.

"We ended up having weekly and then near-daily 'all hands' calls once the coronavirus took hold and most businesses shifted to working remotely," Chassen tells GlobeSt.com. "There was some concern about execution, delivery and recording of loan documents. The Clerk's office was not 'open' for recording documents and was, and remains, only accepting documents via mail or via e-recording. Similarly, the local office of the title company, First American, which acted as closing agent was not open, and documents had to be sent to our contact who was working remotely. First American was incredibly accommodating and helped all the parties get the deal done on time."
