[lorwest]

A website for this development is now available, but the floorplans are not online as of July 2012. Opening targeted for March 2013.

It's 10 floors but that 1st floor is the height of 2 floors, and the top of that left side of the building clearly looks like a (tall) 11th floor!

They should have used 50% more of that sleek, blue-ish/platinum siding, which looks so sleek!

Brick is almost up and windows are in.

According to this link, the project totals 192 units.

Is this poured concrete walls? Seems kind of strange that this can be profitable at that height, but we can't build stuff on campus like this even though price per square foot is higher.

[seanrichardryan]

Yep, concrete columns and floor plates.

I too am confused on the economics of this. However, the NIMBY quotient must be a little lower next to a Target and a highway. 10 stories wouldn't fly in Uptown, but you have to think something like this would work in the North Loop...

Maybe SLP east of Hwy 100 will be able to capture some of the Uptown demand that Mpls is not accommodating due to nimbyism. This will probably accelerate after the SWLRT is built.

Right, because they’ve denied so many projects in Uptown. Are there even any projects under construction in Uptown? Oh, yeah. Looks like those NIMBY’s let about 1500 apartments slip through the cracks.

1522 apartments across 18 different structures (incl. a reno), to be exact!

*DNI "Buzza Bldg" renovation either, which apparently is not being tracked!

I really like the look of this building, although I can't say it looks too much like what the rendering had proposed. Wooddale could turn into a very urban street in the next few years.

Thanks for the suburban pictures!

This building looks really sharp. I hope that StoneBridge comes out as well.

But that said, at street level this building is awful and is a real missed opportunity to start a trend over here. There's a half block long handicap ramp. I mean ADA, etc, I know, but that doesn't mean you have to build something that ridiculous.

One month till occupancy. I really like this building. This area is going to have a bit of a head start when it comes to redevelopment brought on by SW LRT.

This area has a lot of potential to be a more organic second downtown-ish area in SLP. 36th between the freeway and where the Woodale station is already lined with retail that for the most part fronts the street in a pedestrian-friendly way, and a could blocks off to either side is some of the densest housing in SLP, plus two whole blocks ready to go. Would be awesome if in 20 years we could get some high-density ped-friendly development all the way down 36th/Montery from Woodale to Excelsior... We can dream, right?

[lorwest]

This seems to be open, if not complete.

[FISHMANPET]

What are rents like here? Still no idea how the economics work out on this one.

[min-chi-cbus]

I feel like the rendering had more shimmer...

Anyone have a map of the location of all this infill in SLP? Trying to figure out how a street grid could be filled in, but it seems Google satellite is likely out of date.

[mamundsen]

It's all around Hwy 100 and 36th St.
