Re: Target Center Renovation

Does Cambria have an association with the Timberwolves. Maybe they will be using some quarts panels that Cambria will make for them. Use that as a test for a new exterior product line to expand their bottom line.

Re: U.S. Bank Stadium Construction Updates

Vikeoligist, the Queens have done enough for their own making of the damage that they have brought on themselves. I don't hate the Queens, I happen to like the stadium a lot. It is this after the fact sh*t that makes many of us non too happy with the Queens and their antics. While they may have put ...

Re: T3 - Hines Dock Street Office Project

When I looked west down 3rd street yesterday I saw the crane for T3 looking like it was in the middle of 3rd. This will be another view like the Stadium and the Portland where the curve of the street has the building looking like they will be in the middle of the road. The T3 will definitely change ...

Anyone know what corner this is? Seems to have a theater behind it. http://www.jeanneandersen.net/keyd1953.jpg Also, are there any legitimate Coney Island joints in Minneapolis? We need more Coney Island joints. That is the Solara building, I think they took out the Coney for the current entrance. ...

Re: Saint Paul - General Topics

They want to tear down a historic building while the keep the 210 which is a one story nondescript building that should be removed. Hope the HPC puts a stop to this.

Re: U.S. Bank Stadium Construction Updates

They are the only land lord so I would expect they the pay for there street rebuild like every other property owner. Their project tore up the street, they can rebuild. Again expecting others to pay for what other...

Re: Custom House - Downtown Saint Paul Post Office

How tall of ceilings will these hotel rooms have. Were the old/remodeled windows With the dark metal that small in reality. I'm sure they had high ceilings and large windows that was probably to allow lots of light into the office space or if those were mail sorting floors, back before the addition,...

Re: Saint Paul - General Topics

I'd be curious what the 210 lot is and why it is not included in the yellow area which I would suspect is the hotels foot print. I'm sure that they could repurpose the station and have the ground floor as restaurant, and the second floor could be meeting spaces. The roof could house the pool area wi...

I have no problem and I don't think too many on this site have a problem with the design of the stadium. it is the antics of the team and the MSFA that are pissing a lot of people off. They want 80 days guaranteed of park time. that is pure BS as they have no legitimate reason to have that much time...

Some retailers must have faith in the Baker Center as I see two spaces in the skyway that are being built out at the moment. I wonder when they are going to start on the renovation and redo of the exterior of the Investor's Building on 8th and Marquette. I saw a sign of coming soon for "Green a...
