Passed Planning and Zoning! Now it's off to the City Council for the final approval.

I ended up stopping by and the vinyl section was absolutely massive compared to most stores. Overall I thought the store looked great and it's extremely different from any Barnes and Noble in the area.

I drove by there the other day and it looks phenomenal from the outside, so I can't wait to actually be inside of it. The concept in general sounds good and hopefully it pays off for them.

Possible TIF planning for the project... There's no formal TIF request yet, but I'm told that Alatus LLC, the Twin Cities-based developer of the roughly $110 million luxury apartment project, has asked for about $10.5 million. Alatus wanted more like $12 million, the city was inclined more toward $9...

Thank you for the updates! It's amazing how fast this project has been going.

Passed 4-3.

Apparently the apartments at 501 on 1st (by the Food Co-Op) are selling fast, all of the lofts have been leased. I have no doubt that this project will attract a lot of Mayo employees too. It's fantastic to see this apartment and condo boom downtown!

Some new renderings and information have been released regarding the project by Bloom Capital along the Zumbro River in downtown Rochester. Should be going to the city council soon, the way Wojcik made it sound. https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/15032669_1271738389551455_8671371298408952...

Do you know how old that list is? How many of those projects have been completed? I know the Mary Brigh expansion is almost finished. That expansion I believe was to the east, and is now the tallest portion of that hospital. Or is there more expansion? This list comes from the newest 5 year plan th...

Mayo's 5 year plan is on the city of Rochester's planning and zoning page... here's a list of potential projects to start up that I found interesting (I trimmed down this list by a substantial amount). East expansion of Mary Brigh Building for diagnostic, treatment and inpatient functions. Horizonta...

Best news I've heard all week. The sooner that ugly parking ramp goes, the better.

Where in Minnetonka is this supposed to be?

I see a massive amount of potential in this so-called "Discovery Square" area. Very pleasant area to walk, including the Solider's Field Park, and the Zumbro nearby. Pair this with easy access to downtown, and it's going to be a great corner of town for years to come. Now, there are still...

Another mixed-use apartment project announced for downtown Rochester... this time from Opus and Titan Investments (Titan's also behind the Broadway at Center). Located between the US Bank and Southern Minnesota Municipal Power buildings on a surface parking lot, with activation facing both 1st Ave a...

Some news from the Post-Bulletin today... The Discovery Square area of Rochester might see some new apartments and commercial development soon. Vance and Barb Vinar of Faribault bought some land near Soliders Field Park through Residence at Discovery Square LLC. The couple presented some brief initi...

And the plot thickens... This comes from Councilman Wojcik's blog. In preparing for the discussion of the now continued project; I reached out to Fresh Thyme. Based on their corporate philosophy and previous developments, I was skeptical of some of the claims that Javon Bea had made. As it turns out...

The Ridgedale Macy's is by far the best one, in my opinion. However, it would be sad to see the downtown store close.
