East Lake Street

A Landmark Office Building in the Heart of Wayzata

Strategically positioned along Lake Street in Wayzata, MN, this premier office building is a key component of a multi-year, collaborative development effort with the city and adjacent property owners. Designed to seamlessly integrate into the fabric of the community, the project enhances the downtown district with a dynamic view of the lake, all while preserving the city’s cherished walkability and small-town charm.

The building’s architecture thoughtfully responds to its surroundings, following the gentle curve of the road and stepping back at the upper levels to create a human-scaled streetscape. Clad in striking white stone with contrasting black glazing, it establishes a strong yet elegant presence—serving as a visual anchor at the downtown terminus of Lake Street.

Completed in 2021, this meticulously designed spec office building was fully leased within months of opening, a testament to its prime location, sophisticated design, and seamless integration into the evolving urban landscape of Wayzata.

The project is also the 2023 NAIOP Award of Excellence winner in the Built-to-Suit Office category.
