It's difficult to tell the amount of space between the tower and the 2 story piece at the intersection but a skinny 5 portion would do a lot to cap the block

I'd love if the consequence was getting a new office tower. Convert four old buildings, create demand, build a new tower.

Very Sim City. Love it.

DMNA agenda shows they plan to recommend approval for all three towers proposed along Washington Ave!

*perfect high five*

Crowd sourcing your moving fees is a bold move... On one hand - totally get it. Nuisance crime is one thing, dying is another. On the other hand, I still hope this area turns around. Broadway has decent bones and opportunity is gradually increasing in the neighborhood.

That's just ridiculous

He just mentioned it offhand after the meeting, so I don't know any details, but apparently it was a very short presentation, with the committee pretty bluntly saying that it wasn't good enough. No idea whether the concern is that it's ugly, that it's not dense enough, that it shouldn't have a surf...

Also, one of the committee members went to the CoW meeting, and apparently they got pretty much laughed out of the room, so there's probably some changes incoming.

Could you elaborate?

"1. All site improvements shall be completed by August 29, 2018, unless extended by the
Zoning Administrator, or the permit may be revoked for non-compliance."

from the packet... nothing like waiting till the ultimate last second

This is now open more officially. Go give it a look. Still lacking a little bit of the landscaping and some art according to the news

By the time this finishes, the Minneapolis minimum will likely be $15/hr. At that wage, assuming 40 hours a week for 4 weeks a month, 30% of that persons income is $720. Were you assuming state minimum wage?

Ahh good point. Yeah, I was thinking state $7.87.

‘Extremely affordable’ housing project planned at 45th and Hiawatha The five-story, 53,950 square-foot building will sit on one acre. It will include 80 efficiency units that range from 418 to 518 square feet. A parking lot will have 40 spaces, or about a half space per unit, and there will be insi...

Fun chart demonstrating what different du/ac look like. To help clarify, the #3 Arena Crossing is a 5-over-1 development at 126 DU/AC. So 100 DU/AC is 4 story stick approximately. That's decent.

I don't see a Wisconsin thread, but the possibilities of a Democrat Governor as looking HUGEEE. First thing that comes to mind - rail link Minneapolis to Chicago via Milwaukee and Madison

Not likely - drawings and permits will take months for this. Permits alone will take 3-4 months probably.

And the construction crews they line up jump off when there are significant delays like this and now have to be re-coordinated and organized. Timing is a huge deal.

Red and orange??? The developer is definitely picking these cladding materials. I hope to god an architect didn't.

Went over my head. Deleted

(Unlocked) by F&C on this. Also mentions an Aeon project moving to a different parcel than proposed last year. https://finance-commerce.com/2018/08/stadium-area-housing-heats-up/ But hot damn I hope someone is putting regridding 3rd, plus the Washington Ave freeway interchange redesign, on an a...

This officially opened today.

And, right on cue, Opus acquired the remaining portion of the block, so plans must be moving along for it.

BEGGING for this next one not to have a giant ugly parking podium. BEGGING.

The high parking numbers always make me think "parking podium" which usually means architectural disaster. If they are underground and underutilized I couldn't care less.
