Re: Hiawatha-Lake - Minnehaha - Downtown Longfellow

The old AutoZone technically had brick, but it had a largely white exterior. I don't know my materials all that well, but the new one appeared to be using cinder blocks for the walls, which I suspect is more substantial than what they had before. The old building was a bit farther north, zero setbac...

Re: Cambria / Fairfield Hotels - 41 10th Street N (former Ramada block)

I think these belong here, though the Hennepin County Property map says they are 1024 and 1000 Hawthorne Ave rather than being part of the 41 10th St. N parcel , which is behind them. (I assume this just means the property had been split up.) https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51210773591_8d9508946...

Re: Park Laurel Building

I went by this a week ago (15 15th St N). They say they're leasing now, but renovation work is obviously ongoing. Here's their website: https://thelaurelmpls.com/

Re: South Nicollet / Kingfield-Lyndale-Tangletown-Windom Neighborhoods

I happened to see the 4220 Nicollet project last weekend and snapped a photo of it. I didn't notice whether anything was going on at the Curran's site up the street, though it's not a neighborhood I'm terribly familiar with in the first place. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51210058417_9471407f...

Re: Hiawatha-Minnehaha Corridor - General Topics

The project at 3801 Hiawatha Avenue is now known as CityLine Apartments.

Re: Lunds & Noko(mis) Apartments - Cedar & Minnehaha Pkwy

Hmm. I wouldn't be surprised if it's temporary and only intended to be used while Noko was going up, though you'd think they would have hooked into that by now.

Re: Freight Rail News and Happenings

CN is less visible in MN, since their main line passes through Duluth rather than the Twin Cities. Their Wisconsin Central subsidiary has a line that roughly parallels Union Pacific's line to Eau Claire, but runs about 10 miles north of it and runs through Chippewa Falls before reaching the CN main ...

Re: Highland Bridge: Ford Site Redevelopment

Here are a few shots of the first building. The panels for the first residential floor above the grocery area are mostly in place. The ground floor is quite tall, though it's down the slope a ways from the existing shopping center buildings, so it's only now reaching the same height as the (false?) ...

Re: Snelling Yards affordable & senior housing development - 3601 44th St E

Does anyone know the current status of this? I walk past it regularly, and it seems like the stored construction signage and other materials have been slowly disappearing from the site, but I'm not sure if that means anything.

They're doing foundation work at 3801 Hiawatha, though they're somewhat shallow compared to what I usually expect to see in MN. First two shots from April 20th when they were digging trenches. Yesterday (April 26th), it appeared the base layers had already been poured and mostly set. https://live.st...

The Holiday station at 46th and Hiawatha that was built to replace the one that burned during the unrest following George Floyd's murder was open when I went by on Sunday.

I think Andover is probably skipped because there had been thoughts it would have been included in the "Bethel Corridor" commuter line that was studied back in the late '90s/early 2000s (despite the name, it could have gone as far north as Cambridge), where it was being looked at alongside...

Re: Future Cars: Electric and Autonomous Vehicles

Is anyone aware of efforts to require some amount of charging infrastructure in apartment buildings, either in specific cities or statewide?
