Two blocks west( Prior and Uni) Habitat for Humanity will break ground on its new Twin Cities HQ. 4 stories. Buildings have been vacant for sometime now. Poluted soil and asbestos have to be removed. Info from the current 'Villager'. Area between Prior and Fairview(Iris Park) could see a few more of...

Super America Greatland?

Still not sold on saving the facade but too late now. Quite a few new buildings in your photo that have sprung up in the last 10-15 yrs. State office buildings and Regions.

The conversion of some of these great buildings of commerce to apartments continues to take class B and C office space off the ma...

Greetings, I believe the current building was to be renovated also if I recall. This should look great at night with the large windows. Name of the new resturant has been revealed. http://www.twincities.com/life/ci_20847891/restaurant-news-dave-cossetta-christens-fine-dining-restaurant Same name as ...
