Re: Downtown Minneapolis Office Market
This morning I read Bloomberg article speaking to the bifurcation in quality of space. Apparently in NYC buildings either built or renovated since 2010 are seeing rental absorption above pre-pandemic rates while lower quality buildings sit empty. There is a plausible viewpoint that rental rates for ...

Re: City Center
Just fyi, it at least used to be the case the "negligent homicide" was always drunk driving. Back in the day, "homicide" was always something that required some amount of heighten culpability until we decided it was bad to kill people with a car while drunk, whether the state could demonstrate ...

Re: City Center
I don't think we can have much of a realistic conversation at getting downtown back to what it was just before it went downhill fast during the pandemic, let alone into a thriving downtown retail paradise without addressing the out of control crime and loitering.
The problems with downtown's ...

Re: Uber/Lyft
I personally don't like blackmail - so Uber and Lyft's threats and tantrums make me strongly support the ordinance. If they leave, that's a plus at this point. There will be other services/companies that can do what they do without fucking over their workers.

Re: Uber/Lyft
Obviously anecdotal, but my Lyft driver last night ranted about the city council decision. He claimed it’s a vocal minority of drivers and that he makes significantly more than $15 hour and presented his pay stubs at a council meeting. He did also complain about some Uber and Lyft policies that made ...

Re: Greater Minnesota job market / employment news
The Soudan Mine tour is a Minnesota must do. The cage elevator is original and is kept in fantastic working order. Watching it work from the surface is interesting on its own. Once at the bottom you ride a mine train about a mile laterally.

Re: Uptown - LynLake - The Wedge - News & General
Unless the city is able to keep a good pace of new construction. That would help offset this issue as eventually office space even on the county/city books will be devalued. A wild card is what will the value of the office to housing be. Will they require tif

Maybe. I got my truth in taxation document for 2024. No change in my property value. Overall taxes down 1.6%. I've heard from others who saw their property values increase - they will be paying more, but not by a crazy amount. The discounted prices that some are paying for apartment buildings will ...

Re: Northfield
It looks good as a new project, but boy was the loss of the Archer House a massive hit to a classic small town.
I have a sneaking suspicion that looking at this is just going to make residents miss the Archer House that much more.

Re: Transit Crime
There's always this right/left intractable argument between using resources for tougher enforcement vs. using them to address root causes of crime, but, to some extent, it seems they are both right. Clearly, you can't structurally 'arrest your way out of crime', but tactically I think it can ...

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Office Market
Top 4 floors of the office tower. I am not sure how much square footage that is, or how it compares to what they currently have.
Article said they had 124,000 currently, and an old Hines release say 14 floors of office totaling 350k. 350/14 = 25k (not sure how valid that is), so maybe 124k to ...

Is this good news or bad news (ala Ameriprise)?
They are currently at 800 Nicollet Mall, no?
…and I’d be surprised if they are upsizing, I guess.

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Office Market
Who knows what went on behind the scenes, but it seems pretty interesting that a building of this size isn’t being re-structured, extended and pretended, quietly marketed while in forebearance or whatever. Straight to auction like any old 3 bedroom house.

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Retail News
I've probably posted this before, but my prediction is that in 20-30 years remote work will be viewed similarly to the way mid-century freeway construction is viewed today: as 'gee-whiz progress' that made life more convenient for a bunch of well off white people without any real consideration given ...
