History
Background
The concept of Paramount can be traced back to 2014, when Giarratana proposed Paramount to be the tallest building in the state on 505 Church, the site of the canceled Signature Tower. Giarratana has stated that Paramount was originally named after an old local theater.[4] The building was planned with 60 stories. This was later downsized to 45, and the building was completed and renamed to 505 in 2018.[5] After 505's completion, Giarratana proposed another skyscraper by the name of Paramount one block west of 505 that would once again be 750 feet tall, but would add 5 stories to bring the floor count to 65.[6]
Revival
On October 4, 2021, Giarratana revealed his plans to construct Paramount (then known as 1010 Church as a placeholder) adjacent to his five-story YMCA Downtown expansion as a 60-story residential tower with a different design and location than his original proposal from 2019. The proposal was submitted for the city to review in December of that year.[7]
Construction
Giarratana was approved for a $232 million loan to finance its construction in April 2024.[8] However, he would terminate the loan a year later in 2025.[9] In August, he would be approved for a new $340 million loan by New York City-based Franklin Templeton Investments.[10] Construction began on September 15, 2025.[11] The building is currently expected to be complete by the middle of 2028.[2]
Design
Paramount will possess a zigzag exterior similar to nearby One22One that reflects sunlight in multiple directions. The exterior will gradually converge into a "crown" (as described by Goettsch) made of five isosceles triangles pointing down.[12]
The building's primary amenities are on the 9th floor, including a lounge, a fitness room, a game room, and a deck with an open air pool to accommodate the residents' needs. Several of these can also be found on the 40th floor.[13]
