21 North Washington - 27 stories - 300'

Construction on the new building won't be starting until Spring 2023, according to this Interim Use Permit application headed to the BIHZ Committee today.

The parking spaces under the building are currently acceptable, since they're inside the footprint and thus considered enclosed parking despite not being enclosed. However, when they remove the building, the parking spots will become a surface lot, which is not permitted in the downtown zoning district, hence the need for an IUP.

Well, Who wants to bet that this becomes another somewhat interesting possibly semi historic building that gets torn down and then ends up sitting an empty lot for a long time. I mean I would think if not the planned building some thing will come along pretty quick but who knows. I just hate when they tear things down when construction is not about to start… like the Minneapolis athletic club in Northeast.

How's this coming along. I'm in Florida now so I can't see this stuff go up anymore.

This site is now cleared down to the ground. Makes the whole intersection of Hennepin/Washington look weird. I sure hope they get financing or whatnot squared away to ensure a spring 2023 groundbreaking and not an indefinite empty lot.
