SPS Tower Amenity Club
Studio BV reimagined the SPS Tower Amenity Club in Minneapolis to create a luxurious, interconnected social and work environment that enhances tenant experience and fosters community within spec suites.
The SPS Tower building ownership approached Studio BV to innovate around the concept of spec suites. They want to do something that would transcend traditional spec suite offerings in the twin cities market. Studio BV along with the ownership and brokerage team developed the club concept that would support an amenity rich environment spanning two floors that would connect 7 spec suites to these offerings. This club would only be accessed by the tenants in the spec suites. The club offers a luxuries bar, custom iconic fireplace, gaming lounge, a video gaming lounge, meeting spaces and podcast rooms.
These spaces will serve to amplify the offerings in the tenant’s own suites. This concept is new in this market. The high end finishes the two story space of the club allows for a social floor featuring a fireplace, bar and lounge space and pool table. The interconnecting stair brings the user to the upper floor where the vibe is different. This space features a work lounge, open conference table and two podcast rooms, with full recording technology to support recording and video needs of the users. The open lounge features a curated set of video games and cozy lounge chairs that allow folks to escape the everyday and escape into the land of video games.
The spec suites themselves were designed to support a broad set of tenant needs. Two of the suites offer a benching style of open office space and are more designed for collaborative work styles.
The other five suites are designed to support private office users like law firms or professional service organizations. This is unique in the market. Most spec suites are designed to support one user group and its often more open office /tech and creative users. The design team’s intention was to shift that and provide a richer option for tenants in the market.
Details in the spec suite and club space that are unique include, high end furniture, custom lighting, art and accessories curated by local artists for each space. This is meant to elevate the spec suite from generic to high end workplace.
