History

RBC Gateway was initially proposed in 2015 by United Properties as part of a public competition to redevelop a surface parking lot in downtown Minneapolis and called for a 300-room Hilton hotel and office space. [2] In June 2019, the developer announced that plans for the tower would be revised to instead incorporate a 222-room Four Seasons hotel and 34 luxury condo units rather than the originally slated Hilton. [3] [4] RBC Gateway held a ceremonial groundbreaking on June 19, 2019, with expected completion in 2022. [5]

In July 2023, San Francisco investment firm Spear Capital acquired the 16 floors of office space in RBC Gateway from United Properties for $225 million. [6] The sale did not include the hotel or condo floors of the tower. [7]

Construction

Construction on RBC Gateway began in June 2019 and was completed in 2022. [8] The general contractor for the project was Minneapolis-based McGough Construction and it was designed by Smallwood, Reynolds, Stewart, Stewart & Associates, Incorporated. [9]
