Re: Nicollet Ave / Eat Street - Whittier, Stevens, Loring Park

Thanks for the lead on this. Nice little infill. I found the CPC packet: http://www.minneapolismn.gov/www/groups/public/@cped/documents/webcontent/wcmsp-215194.pdf This looks to be the one Frana Companies posted back in April: they called it Blaise. https://www.facebook.com/FranaCompanies/posts/311...

Re: Hiawatha-Minnehaha Corridor Development & MinHi Line

Correct on the addresses, though plenty of addresses change as construction progresses (note the 240 to 250 to 270 and maybe back to 240 Hennepin project). It's just speculation given that the main entrance will be just about as far as you can get from Hiawatha Avenue and still be on a public street.

Re: Hiawatha-Minnehaha Development & RR Corridor/MinHi Line

The old Bridgeman’s/Somtaste came down in the last week, and there a good deal of activity on site. Upon looking at the approved plans for 4757 Hiawatha, it looks like the front door will be along the stub of Nawadaha Boulevard, halfway between Hiawatha and Minnehaha. I wonder if the address will ch...

Does anyone know what’s going on at the southwest corner of University and Hampton? It looks like they’re gutting something to rebuild but drove by fast and wasn’t sure.

Aren’t both of the 8-story buildings on Lake Street north of Bde Maka Ska (The Lakes and u/c LakeHaus) both reinforced concrete?

Wow, pretty surprising the Skyscape one is closing, it's consistently busy whenever I go there. This will be a big negative for the neighborhood. Although maybe not surprising considering the sign in the dairy section today: https://i.imgur.com/rgWVhAU.jpg?1 Oof, clearly an asset to the neighborhoo...

Tower crane went up in the last couple weeks at the approximate site of the future high-rise hotel at the Viking Lakes project in Eagan. I could make out a Kraus-Anderson trailer. Eagan permits don't seem to indicate a tower being constructed yet (wasn't even sure it was approved). Anyone know anyth...

Has anyone heard if something is happening at 1177 West 7th Street? It's been a vacant lot for several years (Street View showed a house in 2007, but it was gone by the next pass in 2011). I saw a skid loader just about done tearing up the grass yesterday. This is between Tavial Grill and the strip...
