I'd love to help demo that one. Now only one gravel-clad NE bank to go!

As part of Cat being purchased by Textron, they are going to be closing their fancy new North Loop office. Too bad, but it sounds like this whole deal was essential to the company's continued survival -- at least according to my sources in the local powersports world.

I'll be curious to hear what you think about that stuff, Matt. I'd like to do a smart doorbell at some point. Hue bulbs are ridiculous, absurdly expensive and unnecessary, but I got a crazy deal on them through a relative and am surprised by how much I enjoy them in my basement bar. I will add a few...

There's at least one fun development coming north of Plymouth over there, so why not roll the dice and wait...

From what I'm hearing, a food hall is likely for this space. These foodie tenants tend to take up pretty small spaces, and can be done in concert with retail and larger/traditional restaurants. I'm guessing they'd still need a significant office component to help fill the space, but I'm told to expe...

I can't wait to see how this one turns out. Should be a nice, glassy contrast to Moos -- and those storefronts are gross.

Do you know if Wasabi is staying open?

So they're really considering conjoining the Fifth Street Towers? Seems like an April Fool's story... http://www.bizjournals.com/twincities/b ... oftop.html

Too bad for Dunn -- and the Mall sure is bottoming out -- but there are countless cool concepts (coffee and otherwise, local and national) with their eyes on the Minneapolis market. I think we'll see plenty of fresher new stores/restaurants once the mall reconstruction nears completion.

Thank you, John. I'm very sorry for the loss of your friend.

Kinda reminds me of the Gateway project. That would be a great location to live - easy access to Cheng Heng down the Green Line.

This doesn't bode well: http://www.wsj.com/articles/sports-auth ... 1456916409

Seemed to me like Jeb was focused on the basics of not passing out or having a bathroom incident on stage.

I really like it! Those arches subtly suggest the armory and it kinda has a North Loop vibe going on.

Well said!

Yeah that lackluster aesthetic really doesn't fit their brand positioning at all...

Nice! Shea does such great work - can't wait to see some plans. I'd think there would be many benefits to this being finished before the Super Bowl.

I haven't been in the YMCA for years - why do you think they'd want to move to a new space?

I realize that - didn't mean to commit a forum sin. It still it fits the trend of legacy brands offering newer, so-called hipper brands in urban areas. I realize Blu is upscale. Red is planned to be more affordable. Minneapolis is large and healthy enough that its urban core (or surrounding neighbor...
