Re: Xcel Energy HQ - (401 Nicollet Mall)
The base of a tower crane was placed today. That will make, what, 14 cranes in downtown Minneapolis?

Looks like the skyway level is going to have some really tall ceilings, and perhaps a 3-story lobby?

Re: Nic on Fifth - (290' - 26 Stories)
There are plenty of windows on the south side, but the platform supports of the LRT and the setback make light getting into the space difficult.

Re: Nic on Fifth - (290' - 26 Stories)
I haven't been down there to take a look. Are you saying that there are no/few windows in the skyway on the south side of the building?

Re: Major League Soccer in Minnesota
The 2020 partners proposal suggests that an MLS stadium would fit without displacing Mary's place and the farmers market, though a few businesses would have to be bought-out/moved. http://www.mls4mn.com/minneapolis-farmers-market-soccer-stadium/?utm_content=buffer6563b&utm_source=buffer&utm_...

Re: Farmers Market Soccer Stadium

There's a decent sized mobile crane on site now. I'm not sure they could fit much more equipment on this site.
