AD IN”FIN”ITUM: WestStar Tower Features Seamless Visual Flow

Below is an excerpt of my latest article in the March, 2025 issue of LD+A:

The WestStar Tower in El Paso, TX marks a significant milestone as the first newly constructed skyscraper in the city in 40 years. It brings fresh energy to the urban skyline, symbolling El Paso’s unique position along the U.S.-Mexico border. As the headquarters of a leading commercial bank in the Borderplex region, WestStar is not only a key financial player with assets exceeding $3 billion but also an important economic catalyst, supporting local businesses with capital to grow and prosper.

Standing 314 feet tall, this 20-story corporate, mixed-use tower occupies an entire city block and features 262,000 sq ft of Class A+ office space, along with a 13,000 sq ft ground-level area dedicated to retail and office use. The design emphasizes accessibility and community engagement, offering a park area, outdoor seating, and dining spaces on the ground floor.
