Another thing to consider: The reason this state is majority DFL isn't the Twin Cities, it's the Iron Range that pushes the democrats over the in both chambers and statewide. Unfortunately, they are also some of the same demographics which Trump is polling strong with. They even got socked by unfair...

Do protestants and catholics drink different beers in Ireland?

I saw that and thought it was a joke too. Now that I'm dying laughing I want it to stay. Let them have cake.

It was a Bizjournal exclusive too.

Yep, so this project is happening. I hope nothing delays it after the tenants move out.

Mortenson has a development contract for a new office building at Marion and University, NE quadrant. http://www.minneapolismn.gov/www/groups/public/@cped/documents/webcontent/wcmsp-184929.pdf I think this is the wrong link.

I find it pretty hypocritical that the U protested the Harbor Bay tower all the while developing this project right down the street.

So the Days Inn that was recently remodeled is toast?

Mayor Coleman seems to be pretty optimistic about this happening: http://m.startribune.com/mayor-to-propose-2017-budget-for-st-paul-today/389613691/?section=local Pledging for 3,000 new jobs in 3 years, focused on high poverty areas of the city. Gee, I wonder what could fit that bill? This might be ...

'Promenade On The Promenade'
I like it.

Too many words. Not edgy enough for today's luxury apartments. Try "The Prom.", "Pr0men^de" or "Promenade^2"

Ha, my bad...I thought Nicollet Mall would be mostly finished by November 2016. I now see that I was off by a whole year

You did get my hopes up for a second, but then I had to google it.

Nicollet is under construction until at least late 2017. Also, if something doesn't happen soon on this block with a skyway connection then the Gateway project is toast. No Skyway-no four seasons, according to UPs project team.

Congratulations!

That looks like way more than $100m to me.

I hear from management that they almost had a deal with Buffalo Wild Wings recently, but the city wouldn't agree to the signage that they wanted, and some outdoor statue. So not sure if they are still courting Giordano's. Damn, so yet another street level space will sit vacant. Does anyone else fee...

Today the plaza has several trucks including a semi parked on it and setting up stuff for the soccer game tonight. I also remember that they wanted to use the plaza for tailgating and other fan zones. That's probably why you don't see any trees or green space there, function over form.

It's just post-hoc justification. Members likely knew that this exact proposal was going to come out and wanted to set up the RFP to exclude practically everything else.
