Noticed a couple weeks ago fencing going up around the dentist office across the street from cub. Hopefully something good is happening.

Looks to me like they are adding an addition. They've dug a hole on the west side of the building and have the dirt piled in front of the existing building.

I guess I don't understand why this need any TIF. The document with all the proposals from the Agenda (https://www.hopkinsmn.com/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Agenda/252?html=true) has this information: "13.2% of total development costs identified as public as TIF and grants. Assumes award of Low Inco...

Ooh, fun. 8,000 sq feet must be one of the street level corners - wonder if it's the old Prime 6 spot, or on Nicollet? From City Centers leasing site, looks like it will be on 6th Street next to the tower entrance. Sounds like the sports bar is a separate tenant (which is great news for City Center...

Finance and Commerce had an article yesterday about the land purchase. https://finance-commerce.com/2021/06/sherman-buys-land-for-downtown-project/ It's locked, but the synopsis has: An entity related to Sherman Associates purchased land for the developer’s three-building, multiuse project in downto...

Can fantasy talk move to someplace other than this thread?

Does that include the restaurant they were shutting down to avoid union action? From the Strib : After going dark in November, the destination beer hall and beer garden at Surly Brewing Co. (520 SE. Malcolm Av., Mpls.) are reopening in two months. "Thanks to the remarkable progress being made ...

Was there a local route serving 50th Street Station at one point? I recall seeing a bus connection available on an old transit map I had. I believe the 7 used to stop at 50th, but they moved that connection to 46th, since the bus could stay on 34th Ave S for a longer stretch and better connect with...

More activity at 46th and Minnehaha: an apartment proposal for the SE corner is on the CPC agenda for next Monday. 123 units, 76 parking stalls, and 4,000 sq ft of commercial space fronting Minnehaha. Looks pretty good! This has its own thread: https://urbanmsp.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=4628&...

This 750,000 sq ft warehouse is for larger items that need special storage, like mattresses, grills, exercise equipment - that can be shipped in a 30-45 min radius. This is not to be confused with the 2 million secretive warehouse that people were speculating Amazon was looking to build in Brooklyn ...

I personally think Uptown Square sounds much, much better. You stick with a (familiar) two syllable word before Square, which I think matters when it comes to trying to rename/rebrand something. No one will call this Seven Points - I can't believe this was the best they could come up with.

Even has a table/window eating area looking at the LRT station for quick stops-and-goes. But I'd be money that after the first two grab-and-gos, that door gets locked up for security

The NL Holiday corner door is not locked, and used often.

If it was Hyvee, it wouldn't be their first. They have an urban format store in Downtown Des Moines. 18,000 sq. ft. is not very large... for additional context over the Uptown Target. The Highland Park Target is 20k, the Des Moines Hyvee is 38k, the Cub Foods at 46th & Hiawatha is 46k, the Pros...

Does JLL have previous history owning malls and redeveloping them like that? From a Google search, it seems they've been picking up a lot of big malls in the past few years, with comments about upgrading/remodeling them to not be "malls", but more community assets. I think that would be a...

Is the southwest metro really so lucrative for Costco that they need to make their 10th store a second one in this corner of the metro? Wouldn't Lino Lakes/Blaine, Plymouth, or Lakeville make far more sense based on where they already have stores? This isn't even 10 miles from the Eden Prairie Cost...
