Re: Stadium Parking Ramp Air Rights Development

http://www.thedmna.org/wp-content/uploa ... 03-141.pdf The Downtown Minneapolis Neighborhood Association has this on its agenda tonight at the Library. I think it starts at 6; they'll probably show the renderings there - anybody going to that?

Re: 7 Corners Hardware

I wouldn't expect Opus will pitch anything taller than 2 or maybe 3 stories along West Seventh. Also I bet the hotel is a long-shot based upon room rates/occupancies in St. Paul these days.

Re: Plymouth Building Apartments - (12 6th Street South)

I expect this hotel project to heat up soon..From what I hear, it's going to be fancy; rival the Westin (F&M Bank) and W Foshay for best historic renovation to hotel. Not sure of the brand though.

Re: Shapco Printing Site - (524 Fifth Street North)

Re: Shapco Printing Site - (524 Fifth Street North)

It is the right image. Finance-Commerce has the same drawing on its Bone Marrow story. UP 'updated' the design it seems. I did like this part: "The rooftop will have views of the ballpark and downtown and include a fitness center, event space and an outdoor terrace."

Not a lot of details here - but i am curious what grocery they're talking to. There's really only one question - would it be a Lund's or a Byerlys.

Re: 4Marq - (400 Marquette Avenue)

At one point I heard AIG was providing equity and BMO was construction lender. Are they both still on board? This project seems to be dragging.

Re: Star Tribune Blocks

Maybe Church Street at the U of M - has that always been closed to cars? Or how about the closure to autos on S 5th St. near the Hennepin County Gov. Center for LRT in 2003?
