It is also situated within walking distance of multiple dining, shopping and public transportation options. Completed in 1976 and renovated in 2013, the office building features a 13,500-square-foot portion of ground floor retail space, as well as a parking garage with more than 450 parking spaces one block north, at 21 W.
