Re: Radisson Blu - Bloomington
I was a kid when the mall opened so I don't really recall but how was a connected hotel not a part of the mall's plans in the first place?

Re: Radisson Blu - Bloomington
In some of the initial plans for the mall there were hotels and office components built in along with a submarine ride where the amusement park is. One of the designs was very futuristic with blue metal cladding, the mall was square shaped and something like 6 stories with a section at each corner that was taller. If I can find one of the old pictures I have I'll try to scan it. I think Triple 5 got into the construction and materials and such started to get more and more expensive so they scaled back, plus I think their overall wealth may have been exaggerated.

THIS is what MOA, Bloomington, the Twin Cities, and Minnesota in general needs for a hotel experience that will attract people from around the region/country!

Ha! The perfect sky with puffy clouds at the edge of the water reminds me of The Truman Show.
The problem with being an introvert online is that no one knows you're just hanging out and listening.

Article from the Business Journal which includes photos. I really like the way the exterior turned out.

Some very interesting furniture. I personally like it. It really stands out and makes an impression (especially the chair which appears to be the impression of a woman kneeling.)

Re: Mall of America - Bloomington
They closed Lindau Lane. Does this mean that they have started the tunnel phase?

Yes, the tunnel is under construction, but I am unsure if the mall is going through with the Phase 2 expansion at this time.

Re: Mall of America - Bloomington
I realize I may well be barking up the wrong tree here, but is this the right place for retail news (especially if it's not new construction)? I may be alone on this but I come on this site to learn about and talk about real estate development, not shopping (unless a new center is being proposed).
Re: Mall of America - Bloomington
Nothing exciting here with the one exception Moods of Norway. The last time I was I in town I visited the MOA which was a huge mistake. Too many teens and stores one can find anywhere nowadays. Basically will avoid MOA in the future unless want to do some tax free shopping at Club Monaco.Nine new stores slated to open:

Re: Mall of America - Bloomington
One I believe is the 10-13 story luxury hotel partn of Bloomington Central Station. The other one is possibly the 10 story Hampton Inn proposed over in the Normandale Lakes area.

Re: Mall of America - Bloomington
I know the sign for the upcoming Hampton Inn at Normandale has been up for a while, I keep wondering when they're going to break ground.
