May 12, 2021


Minneapolis – Transwestern Real Estate Services (TRS) announces it has signed two new tenants to long-term leases at 10 West End, located at the intersection of Highways 394 and 100 in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. Two Harbors Investment Corp., a real estate investment trust, will move its headquarters to 34,640 square feet on the ninth floor of the property. Aerotek, a staffing and recruiting agency, will consolidate two west metro locations to 11,776 square feet on the fifth floor.

“The activity surrounding 10 West End remains strong,” said Transwestern Principal Mike Honsa, who leads leasing efforts at the building. “We’ve completed nearly 140,000 square feet of leasing so far this year, and I expect more leases to be signed in the coming months.”

Two Harbors and Aerotek join CarVal, HDR, Blackburn and Charlie & Co. as tenants of 10 West End, an 11-story, 343,000-square-foot property developed by Ryan Companies US, Inc. and The Excelsior Group. The building features Class A office space, high-tech conferencing spaces, dynamic bike and fitness facilities, collaborative lobby workspaces, open air balconies on every floor, top-floor tenant sky deck free covered ramp parking, and direct access to Central Park West. 

Construction completed on 10 West End in January of this year, making it the first Class A speculative office building delivered in the West submarket in over 20 years.

“These newest leases further underscore that there is ongoing demand for high quality suburban office space,” says Tony Barranco, Senior Vice President of Real Estate Development at Ryan Companies. “I am excited to continue this momentum through the remainder of 2021.”
