Not related to neighborhood plan - but has anyone been to the comic/gaming store on the corner of 15th and LaSalle? What a great little find. Was there today and was pretty busy with the comic convention going on at the convention center. It's stores like this that make a neighborhood unique and int...

My greatest hope for this is that they find a way to put in skylights over the arching roof. But that is a wish I never expect to see, I'll be pleased when it isn't car storage anymore.

Me too! Just wonder if it would get past the preservationists.

Glad to hear! I just moved back to MN this past Monday from Chicago and am spending the weekend checking things outand taking photos. Been away 5 years. Things change but stay the same. Glad to be back but realizing jut how much opportunity Mpls. (both downtown and it's more urban neighborhoods) sti...

I believe there is already a thread for this but couldn't find it. Anyhoo - some renderings of two competing proposals for the site.

So is this dead?

Taller would be cool, but I really want to see Ryan commit to developing the parcels north of the Wells Fargo building. I'd rather see something there than a few floors added to a tower.

Zara - but I think that would be a better fit for downtown, plus seems their stores are larger, often multi-level.

This is true.

Sorry but they really lost a prime opportunity by limiting the height on these developments. Hopefully future new buildings built north will be taller.

I guess my concern is that from the early images it appeared the building would be further set back from Nicollet providing more space for outdoor dining, greenspace, etc. I don't understand what every building has to abut the sidewalk so closely. We are really getting a canyon effect down Nicollet.

All for it but just don't see it happening until there is greater density/lack of building space DTW/DTW, etc. unless we start with green space.

I believe there were talks to add a skyway connection to the Nicollet Mall light rail station back in the day. Kinda for it - kinda not if we're talking about continuing to strengthen street activity and redesign Nicollet.

I am still sad to see the independent retail stores go, but this looks like it's going to be pretty cool. While it's a chain restaurant - Mpls. scored in nabbing it instead of the burbs or MOA. Building looks great and love the rooftop deck.

Star Tribune moving to Capella Tower complex's Park Building, which will be renamed Star Tribune Building: http://www.startribune.com/local/west/253801281.html?utm_content=buffer011e0&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer Sorry but I am getting tired of the all t...

It would've been great if the development would've been mixed-use with some condos/apartments or even timeshares. Duluth really needs some new housing stock and can you imagine living with views of Lake Superior?!

Updated design/plan. Groundbreaking hopefully this summer! I agree with the article's writer - the development is a huge plus for Duluth and the lakefront. Hopefully in time some of the other piers can be redeveloped, perhaps with more modern/iconic architecture. https://cdinduluth.squarespace.com/t...

Nice design. Interesting the image didn't inlcude the green line though.

I didn't know whether to throw it in here or the North Loop forum, but work appears to have begun on converting the 3 story building attached to Deja Vu into the sports bar (named The Office) that was proposed a while ago. This includes a full restoration of the exterior, which I'm pretty excited t...

Fabulous! Grain Belt, you're up next.

Yes!!!
