Frauenshuh assisted Wings Financial Credit Union with the long-term search for a new location in the Maple Grove, Minnesota submarket. This was a fast-growing suburban area with constant changes to the availabilities and options in the market. Thanks to a patient, data-driven approach to their decision-making, Wings was able to capitalize on an option for a ground lease at a new master-developed site including a number of other high-end retailers. Frauenshuh then provided full development services for the site from governmental approvals through opening.

The building facades are detailed on all four sides with brick, cast stone, and metal panels.  Storefront and curtain wall glazing form the taller main lobby area, allowing visibility of interior activity from all sides.  The curved shape of the roof, a subtle variation of other Wings Financial buildings, is topped with standing seam metal. Dark, metal-clad cubes form conference and office spaces, and pierce the curtain wall glazing on three sides.   Above the cubes, an exterior horizontal metal grille provides sun control and accents three sides.  A vertical metal panel “blade” element at the southeast corner anchors the façade, penetrates the roof, and is topped with signage.
