Re: Mortenson Apartment Tower - (400 Marquette Avenue)
This is exciting! More so than the block-e crap at Nic on Fifth. Is it possible that if this is successful that Mortensen could change the way developers approach apartments now (finally put to rest the 4+1, 5+1 stick construction with their monotonous seas of trash collecting balconies)? I had a m...

On my mobile, so sorry if link doesn't work. Sounds like it will be named Metro Park East.

Re: UTEC Student Housing - (1313 Fifth Street Southeast)
The existing structure is rubble, witht the exception of the chimney. Would have been cool to incorporate that into a little park in the middle of the complex. Looks kind of like the Washington Monument.

Re: Velo Apartments - (103 Second Street North)
This is on the top of my "favorites list". The design is still a little too "normal", but definitely ahead of the curve.

Re: Convention Center Hotel - (330 South 12th Street)
Well said! The way I see it, is the private sector wouldn't build a 1000+ room hotel because they won't see any profit besides the hotel itself. Whereas the city/county will receive additional money due to more tax revenue. Makes sense to me.

Re: Convention Center Hotel - (330 South 12th Street)
A 50-story building isn't an engineering feat anymore, but it is undeniably more expensive to build the same floorspace in a taller building than a shorter one. The loads in a 25-story building are a hell of a lot less than in a 50-story one-- steel and concrete aren't free. Construction is more ex...

Re: Former Reserve Site - (324 First Street North)
The article notes that they'll be demolishing 95% of the existing structure. There has been speculation that the existing structure was somehow compromised -- this would seem to confirm that, as I'm sure they'd love to reuse it if it were at all possible. Compromised meaning unusable with their des...

Re: Star Tribune Blocks
I've been in Block E a few times, but only to the movie theater. How much renovation would need to be done for the building to be suitable?

Re: 815 14th Ave SE
The convenience of this building will be extremely lower than that of dinkytdome, sydney, 412, UTEC, House of Hanson Site, and above purple onion. That was my point. Again, if we're talking about a 2.5 block walk to UTEC vs. the sites you mention for convenience, I guess I'm not sure the state of A...

Re: 815 14th Ave SE
^^ Won't there be a convenience store at the current UTEC site, merely 2.5 blocks from the west side of this building? Isn't there House of Hanson just on the other side of 5th? And a CVS at 15th and 4th, 6.5 blocks away? I mean, at worst, even if this were opening today, the longest distance to a ...

I bet the "Keep Dinkytown Dinky" supporters are rolling their eyes at this one! Another "high-rise"!!?? On a side note, I live a block away from here. I have to say, what a crappy place to put an apartment complex. The alleyway is a disaster during winter and spring. The location...
