The building, designed by Aquitectonica, will span 30,000-sf and rise five stories. It will comprise 15,000-sf of office space and 15,000-sf of space that will serve as an innovative Wish House that includes emerging technology to provide children with an inspirational, fun, and safe destination to experience wishes.
