Re: Mozaic
Ackerberg is looking to bring more offices to the block: Sixty-three percent of MoZaic’s commercial space is leased, and when the project hits 80 percent, the firm will start marketing the second phase of the project. The second phase would replace the surface parking lot on the east side of MoZaic...

Re: Mozaic
In order to "overlook" the Greenway, it would have to be on an upper floor. I think you're forgetting about a certain bus lane into Uptown Transit Center

Re: Mozaic
F-C story today: http://finance-commerce.com/2012/08/the-magic-of-mozaic/ It mentions that Phase 2 pre-leasing will begin when Phase 1 is 80% leased. Also says that it will have 2 floors of underground parking and is already being designed. I wonder what they have in store... Presumably more office ...

Re: Bennet West and Center Blocks
^Same deal over at Murals. I come down Garfield to access the stairs there to the Greenway, and I feel like I'm cutting through someone's yard. I feel like the developers go "yeah we'll do a public promenade" and then build it in such a way that feels private and cut off from the public re...

Re: Lake & Nicollet
As much as I don't support streetcars on Nicollet (rapid bus just makes more sense in every aspect, not the least of which is paying for it)...I have to believe that a streetcar line and the federal money behind it would get this street re-opened. I think we need to have a larger discussion about wh...

Re: Vikings Stadium
All this Stadium development could be used to preserve ROW for a double-level tunnel under 5th or 6th street.... Upper level for LRT and lower level for heavy rail connecting to the NP #9 bridge. Bummer we don't have infinite money and forward thinking. Infinite money would be nice. I would argue t...

Re: Introductions
Hey all, Matt here. I was a latecomer to the Minnescraper Forums, but I'm glad that our fledgling community found a new home. I will graduate soon with a B.A. in Urban Studies. I will probably go to the Humphrey School for a Masters in Urban Planning or Masters in Public Policy, beginning Fall 2013....

Re: 600 5th Street North
Like I said, my observation has been that the smell is mostly from the trucks entering and exiting. Some of them are going to drive right by this apartment building on their route. And I agree, HERC isn't going anywhere, nor should it. The costs to build a new one would be prohibitive, and the locat...

1925 Colfax will be torn down to make room for parking.
Bummer to lose this duplex, but if the tradeoff is a lively successful corner at Franklin/Hennepin, that's still a win for the n'hood.

Re: Trader Joes (Lyndale and 27th)
Based on a quick Google maps measurement, you could squeeze a liquor store (Trader Joe's or otherwise) onto the southeast corner of the KMart parcel (NW corner of Lake & 1st Ave S) without violating the 2000' rule. If the denial of Trader Joe's on Lyndale somehow leads to it being part of a re-o...

Something no one's really talking about... It really smells like garbage over there, ALL DAY LONG. I work at Heywood Garage and walk to the Holiday for breakfasts, lunches, etc. The garbage smell from HERC carries pretty far down 6th Ave. Some co-workers and I were walking back from Corner Coffee an...

So is that 8-story building all wood-frame construction? I was looking through the pictures of it going up, and it seems only the first floor and elevator columns were made of concrete. I don't know much about building materials, etc. I thought there was a 6-story limit for "stick" constru...
