So the difference in capital costs for doing streetcar vs ABRT is approximately 18-20 ABRT routes? What are we doing here?

Re: Xcel Energy Center
Don't kill the messenger, but maybe the most under-covered local news story imo is how the Timberwolves/Lynx and Wild all have leases expiring in 2035. If (when) Minneapolis considers publicly funding a shiny new arena with a bunch of new premium seating, there is a very real possibility that a deal...

Re: Roseville / Rosedale - General Topics
Their "deal" was the mall is repurposing their space.Makes me sad too. I wonder what their deal was? Not enough business?Big Bowl closing makes me sad - it was a very fun college job and I still love the food.

Re: Roseville / Rosedale - General Topics
https://i.imgur.com/fBBqOPc.png The comparison between the rendering and the satellite image is really something. The render implies that the entrance and BigBowl area will be changed. It looks like the Big Bowl restaurant gets lopped off in the rendering, and that the Rosedale entrance is rebuilt ...

Is this the vacant slumlord building that had the massive fire in December?Nevermind. I see this was a condemned apartment building. Kinda sad loss of NOAH.

Off the Rails opened last week in the former Bus Stop Brewhouse space in street level of the eastern Wells Fargo building on 4th between Portland and Park. Staff confirmed same ownership/management of the Blarney and Pog Mahone's. It's pretty bare bones in there right now but staff said they're stil...

Re: Dinkytown
A quick search of rentals in Dinkytown shows the value proposition on the new builds is pretty strong compared to the older options which are also generally in worse locations, light on amenities and in-unit laundry and have worse landlord quality. Important to remember it's not just undergrads at t...

I'm low-key excited about this project. About 50% bigger than anything in Wisconsin Dells and would assume the waterpark they opened at their New Jersey mall in fall 2020 is pretty close to what the end product looks like: https://www.americandream.com/venue/dreamworks-water-park# Also, the Star Tri...

Re: RBC Gateway & Four Seasons - 37 stories - 519'
Four Seasons is all about luxury and exclusivity, it's not for the price-conscious.Like, how well will that do in this market? I kind of want to spend one night there to experience the building and hotel, but even $400 is pushing it.

Re: Beltline Station Area – St. Louis Park
Sherman proposes 400 units adjacent to the Belt Line station. Plus grocery store showing the “Grocery+Apartments” trend is still strong.

Re: North Loop Green - Hines - 350 N 5th St(?) - 35 stories - 393'/418'
By sheer coincidence, the Twins are replacing their scoreboard before the 2023 season.

It just seems to be an incredible missed opportunity to connect four existing (at the time of this line's construction at least) rapid transit options - SWLRT, D line, Orange Line, and Blue Line, along one of the worst areas of congestion in the state, and to bring a massive suburb closer in line w...
