Vicinity - 205 Park Avenue (Mill District Ramp Parcel)
Re: Downtown Minneapolis General Topics & Development Map
Bakery on 2nd, townhomes along Park, restaurant on Washington. Not bad at all.
Re: Downtown Minneapolis General Topics & Development Map
I wish they were able to connect this underground parking access with the adjacent parking ramp (does that one have underground levels?). Otherwise its nice to have a block filled in, even if its pretty cookie-cutter.
Re: Downtown Minneapolis General Topics & Development Map
Now I'm curious to see what the other proposal is like.
Re: Downtown Minneapolis General Topics & Development Map
That's a nice looking, restrained material palette.

Love the idea of a public walkway to get to the museum

Re: Downtown Minneapolis General Topics & Development Map
Cool. The public walkway is something I requested in the public survey about what was desired by the public.
Re: Downtown Minneapolis General Topics & Development Map
Unfortunately, the walkway has a curb-cut onto Washington.
Re: Downtown Minneapolis General Topics & Development Map
Per the Strib, the other proposal from Grand Real Estate is a 6 story condo building with 48-52 units. Working with city of lakes trust to make some units affordable. 3,000 foot of retail space for restaurant and bakery plus a dog park.

I predict a showdown with the neighborhood association if the city goes with Sherman.

Re: Downtown Minneapolis General Topics & Development Map
Why? The neighborhood has been pushing for a police substation and some sort of coffee/bakery space this past year, and this has both.
Re: Downtown Minneapolis General Topics & Development Map
Because from the get-go of this RFP process the neighborhood has been strongly pushing for condos over apartments on this site, citing the results of their survey. They've already had several tense meetings with city staff as well as Frey because they allowed for the option of rental units in the RFP. Well, what do you know, we have a proposal for each.

Re: 205 Park Avenue - Mill District Ramp Parcel
I hate to say this, since it's a Julie Snow design and all, but I'm not feeling this design. It works a little bit across the street because of the times it was built and the landscaping. But why make a copy of it?

Re: 205 Park Avenue - Mill District Ramp Parcel
yeah... definitely did not nailed it. It has some interesting features though, is that just a glass cube for the restaurant and retail? It basically mimics the building across the street but doesn't seem to have any character. I love Snow Kreilich but this is not my favorite.
