Re: Suburbs - General Topics

Mounds View council denied a rezoning for an apartment proposal at 2310 Mounds View Boulevard, from R-1 Single Family Residential to PUD Planned Unit Development. Sounds like this would have been phase 1 with another building to the east once they obtained the three small lots and combined. No timel...

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Office Market

Piper Sandler is moving to North Loop Green in 2025!
At least two asset management firms moving in as well. Apparently this is becoming the finance building.
What firms? How large (employees or sq ft)?

Re: Maplewood, North St Paul, & Oakdale - General Topics

287 units is close to the 241 units proposed to replace Myth, but there's nothing else on the City of Maplewood's development project site. I wonder if the current owner had as-of-yet unrevealed redevelopment plans in the works that they're including with the sale, in case the new owner wants to ju...

Have we seen the redevelopment plans? This mentions 500 apartments with 287 adjacent to the mall. That’s news to me.

Re: West End area - St. Louis Park / Golden Valley

How are the older office buildings doing in the area? I know IHeart takes up a lot of space in the south building (1600 Utica). Is Moneygram still in 1550 Utica?

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Office Market

I work in this building. They made a lot of changes to add amenities right before the pandemic. But the skyway level is dead and if it’s owner also owns the Hennepin side (probably) the closure of Rock Bottom was a signal.

Re: Suburbs - General Topics

There are many in the neighborhood with yard signs that say “Save Snail Lake” and they’ve been fighting the whole project for a while. They list many issues but it really comes down to a main argument about the lake being “too busy” already and this apartment would have dock slips. Their website: ht...

Re: Public Transit News / Current Events (MN only)

Darn. I see 270 is getting reduced in December. It’s currently at 6x per direction and listed to be reduced 1-3x. I used to ride daily but can’t right now because the timing is terrible. I hope it’s the early morning trip(s) to be eliminated.

We've been discussing the St. Thomas athletics facilities in a couple of different threads. While they're still talking about locating new baseball and softball facilities at the southern end of the Ford redevelopment, this showed up on Twitter: https://twitter.com/JessRMyers/status/157262484610580...

Re: Maplewood, North St Paul, & Oakdale - General Topics

Hopefully this is the first of many to redevelop the whole Maplewood Mall super block. Interesting that they say there is a future road planned for the east side of the Myth property. That makes me think a new grid is planned out.

Re: Public Transit News / Current Events (MN only)

We tried to go to the state fair today. We were hoping to utilize a park and ride and quickly found out that they were all full. As I looked into it further, they really cut back on the express routes too. In years past I believe they utilized many park and rides in Maplewood, Woodbury, Blaine, etc....

Re: Excelsior, Wayzata and Lake Minnetonka area

Is it on the lakefront? This took me a minute. The address according to the packet is 10 Water Street. Which is across lake street from the Port of Excelsior. I read lakefront as directly on the water.

This will be a great addition to the lake!
