BIG hole in the ground at Fairview/University. The Reuter Walton project is kicked off.

US Bank at Raymond & University is closing and being sold for redevelopment along with the adjacent parcel to the east. Rumor is 'student housing' whatever that means. Big piece of land with the parking lots. Hopefully something with a good street front in this very walkable district. https://i.img...

There's a couple downtown (FAIR School at 10th/Hennepin, the office tower at Nicollet/6th), but I'm not aware of any in other parts of the city.

New Horizon on 25th(?) and Hennepin has one too.

Good lord, that's huge! Karmel is going to need its own zip code soon. Likely to be some issues to hash out on this, but overall a big boon to the neighborhood to replace an emptied out Walgreens with shops, offices, and residents. I also like that it's got a little bit of distinctiveness, even if i...

Plans for the US Bank site are available at on the Edina Development Tracker site (which is pretty nice). It looks pretty good and is certainly an improvement over what's there currently: https://utility.arcgis.com/usrsvcs/servers/34c1bbf08470457aa6398ab6147c15f3/rest/services/Planning/Development_T...

Love that dashboard and love the Sundial plan. I would take 100 more of those around town in a heartbeat. That could fit in on any residential block in this city.

A ton of trees have been cut down and cleared out on the north side of the site. I have no idea if it's for light rail construction or not, but it's where the first phase would go, so here's hoping.

The height is one thing, but I'm probably more annoyed by the car court (or whatever) between the office and apartment buildings that could fit a whole other building in there.

Looks like something could finally be going into the building at 3025 Lyndale, which has been vacant for......10? years.

Food hall renovation looks to be well underway. Lots of equipment on-site looks to be stabilizing the exterior.

This one has started construction.

I think I saw a construction trailer on site when I drove by today. I like this one, so I would be happy to see this one get started.

Third(?) Solhem project announced for the same few blocks in Northeast. http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/www/groups/public/@cped/documents/webcontent/wcmsp-220287.pdf Not really much to say about it, except that it really feels like these Solhem projects are a noticeable step up in quality from the o...

This one has been going on for a while now.

I think the building itself looks OK, it just seems to make some odd choices. Live/work unit on the skyway, walk up units on 3rd street, loading dock for two semis, weirdly hidden sports courts that still face the street??? Idk. I'd like it a lot more over in Downtown East or Loring Park I think. Or...

Finally finally a restaurant going into the space here.

A sign on the house next to the Kitty Klinic on 35th and Lyndale said 19 units (I think?) was being proposed there. That seems like quite a squeeze on one lot, so I wonder if either the Kitty Klinic building is getting roped in too?

Five Watt empire continues to expand. Looks like they're taking over the former Vicinity space at 34th and Lyndale (based on signs in the windows).

Is Phase 2 still a thing? Looks like there's a bunch of equipment on site.

I like this one, especially all the brick accents, and would love to see developments like this all over the city. That said, I'd like it even more if it was symmetrical - seems very rare to see that now in a new building.
