Re: Northeast and Southeast Minneapolis - General Topics
The building is twice the height of anything within three blocks (21 feet higher than what is allowed by zoning after any bonuses). I don't necessarily disagree with the rest of your comment, but there's an 8 story apartment building 600 feet southwest of the site. True, but that building has gener...

Re: Northeast and Southeast Minneapolis - General Topics
This Solhem proposal is on a narrow street that is heavily trafficked by pedestrians. It has so many underwhelming design ideas wrapped into one. The building is twice the height of anything within three blocks (21 feet higher than what is allowed by zoning after any bonuses). They fail to come clos...

Re: Northeast and Southeast Minneapolis - General Topics
While it’s popular to look at what is happening in NE Minneapolis and say that gentrification is driving artists out, the reality across the country is that artists moving into a neighborhood are the first wave of the gentrification. It’s as true now as it was in Jane Jacobs’ Greenwich Village of th...

Re: Rafter - 333 Hennepin Ave E (290' - 26 stories)
Thanks for the info, I find this very disappointing. I think the aesthetic make up of the building is very important. I do not feel a developer should be able to makes aesthetic changes, such as color, without a public hearing. In my opinion, the color of the façade of the building can determine ho...

Re: Rafter - 333 Hennepin Ave E (290' - 26 stories)
The city packet for your reading pleasure: http://www.minneapolismn.gov/www/groups/public/@cped/documents/webcontent/wcmsp-201737.pdf I’m very confused. This seems to be the last time 333 Hennepin went before the planning commission, why don’t the newest renderings, or the building, look aesthetica...

Re: Mortenson / USBank site - 333 Hennepin Ave E (290' - 26 stories)
PS. J2...maybe you don’t intend it, but you’re coming off awfully condescending and rude. This is usually a pretty friendly place for commentary where one isn’t berated for not sounding like an architect or engineer. Maybe lighten up a little, I’m not as clueless as you seem to think...I have enoug...

Re: Mortenson / USBank site - 333 Hennepin Ave E (290' - 26 stories)
I guess the simplest solution would be to make it appear as if there were windows there, as so many other buildings do. Most buildings don't make you say, "oh, there is where the elevator shafts are", even if they share an exterior wall. You seem very defensive here...I apologize if you h...

Re: Mortenson / USBank site - 333 Hennepin Ave E (290' - 26 stories)
Actually doesn't look as bad as I thought it would....but the blank spot where the elevators are will be terrible. The blank spot where the elevators are is already enclosed on the building. It is the section of charcoal precast with the row of windows down the middle, to the right of the construct...

I think 4Marq looks very 1960’s office building with those bevels. Flat is flat though.

Aside from white precast (also used on 365 Nicollet), I don’t see it.

If you like tetris, I wouldn't fret. Give it time.I liked the early drawings of this building, with the "Tetris" look to the exterior.

Re: Northeast (and Southeast) - General Topics
That's a lot of surface parking. [/quote] There are a lot of businesses and events that go in the buildings in that area that are pretty dependent on that surface parking.

Re: Northeast and Southeast Minneapolis - General Topics
I'm tremendously disappointed by these two proposals. They both make use of land that is not even part of the RFP (one only uses the rail right of way, the other takes huge swaths out of the park, redraws the boundaries of the RFP and ignores the 100' easement by required for the transmission lines ...
