Re: Minneapolis Armory

Yes, looking forward to it. Our Wisconsin alumni group is utilizing the Armory for our pregame tailgate/pep rally in late November for the Badger/Gopher game.

Re: Nicollet Mall Reconstruction Project

Trees are going in today on the block of the Local and Barrio. I was impressed with the number and size of trees on the block - one was taller than the skyway windows.

Re: North Loop Neighborhood

I answered my own question - looks like it's slated to open December 20.

Re: North Loop Neighborhood

Anyone know if Red Rabbit is still slated to open mid to late summer 2017 (as stated in the Star Tribune article from a few months back)? As I walked by this morning on my way to work I was very surprised to see how far they've come on the inside. The bar was in, decorative lights were up, booths lo...

Re: T3 - Hines Dock Street Office Project

I toured the building about a month ago and the leasing agents couldn't outwardly say who had leased the space but provided a few hints on the first floor retail. They did mention when the article about Amazon taking a spot came out, negotiations became a lot easier for the rest of the building. The...

Re: North Loop Neighborhood

I would've guessed West Elm would do a renovation project for their hotel (one of the Duffey buildings), but this 1st st location wouldnt surprise me. The proximity to Aria with frequent events and weddings, along with other things taking off in that stretch of the neighborhood, would make for anoth...

Re: North Loop Neighborhood

I noticed walking home from work tonight that The new restaurant in The Hewing hotel, Tullibee, was having a soft opening. Everything inside looks to be set, and the space looks great when walking by on Washington. I believe both the hotel and restaurant open next week on the 17th. Love this additio...

Re: North Loop Neighborhood

I noticed on my walk home that One on One bike shop looks to be renovating and mentioned the cafe was closed until completion. It also appeared the building next store was closed and had work going on (where Chrome was I think) - perhaps they are expanding into that space. Also, 6th Ave (street with...

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Retail News

I was holding out hope that the smaller storefront in the Sex World reno would be a perfect spot for a Chipotle or other fast takeout option. Hopefully something similar will pop up soon.

Re: Solhem Project - 721 1st St N

I noticed yesterday that there are now concrete barriers surrounding the 1/2 of the parking lot where this building is going up.

Anyone know when this is expected to break ground?

Re: North Loop Neighborhood

In the Loop just replaced 708 deli, which I thought of as more of a coffee shop so I'd argue that was a 1:1 swap. I noticed they were open until 7pm last night which seemed late for a coffee shop in that location (zero customers) - hopefully they can make it work. I heard the owners also run the Dun...

Re: Nolo Flats - (602 1st St N)

I noticed the small, ugly building next door has four cutouts for large windows on the second floor. Anyone know what they are converting the building into, or are they just sprucing it up? As I recall, the original proposal included demolishing that building.

Re: Solhem Project - 721 1st St N

There is equipment back on site this morning. It looks like they will be working again in the same spot as about a month ago - I'd assume they are doing additional sampling.

Re: 721 1st St N

Hi all, first time poster here. I relocated to Minneapolis this past summer and have enjoyed tracking all of the development going on in the area through this forum. I'm very interested in this project since it is right across the street from my place. I'm curious if there will be parking available ...
