Foshay Tower
Project Location: Minneapolis, MN
The Foshay Tower, formerly Minneapolis’s tallest building, underwent a transformation into the W Minneapolis Hotel, preserving its Art Deco grandeur.
Integral to this revival were SCW2500 Series fixed windows, seamlessly blending modern technology with the building’s historic charm. This series not only enhances aesthetic appeal but also ensures the preservation of the Foshay Tower’s unique architectural heritage.
