EL PASO, TEXAS — A partnership between locally based developer Hunt Cos. and regional bank WestStar has topped off WestStar Tower, a 264,000-square-foot office tower in downtown El Paso. The latest plans for the building, which represents the largest office project in El Paso in at least 20 years, feature 12,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space and 850 parking spaces. Construction began about two years ago and is expected to be complete in early 2021. At 313 feet, WestStar Tower will be the city’s tallest building and will house the headquarters of both Hunt Cos. and its namesake lending tenant. Other project partners include architects Gensler and Duda|Paine, general contractor Moss and leasing agent Sonny Brown & Associates.
