Re: North Loop Green - Hines - 350 N 5th St(?) - 35 stories / 393'

I inquired about the parking here and was told the lots would be closing for redevelopment in August. (!!)

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Restaurant News

It's an old building with existing kitchen infrastructure in place. It should be relatively cheap space where a new restauranteur could plug in easily. Hope sooner rather than later.

Re: Proposed Tower in Wedge @ Frank/Lyn

"Height varies from 6 to 8 stories, following the topography of the site." So basically a 5 over 1. What a disappointment after seeing the 20 story rendering. A tower would have a great presence over the Henn/Lyn/94 interchange and command great views over downtown. How did the 10-15 story...

Re: Bicycle Infrastructure

The bi-directional bikeway on 28th street is just temporary for the Greenway detour, right? Really makes you think how much more useful 26th/28th would be if they were two way. Obviously signal reworking at Lyndale, Nicollet, Dupont, etc. is the biggest barrier, but I think that investment would pay...

Re: Federal Reserve Riverfront Parking Ramp

I agree, it is all pretty ridiculous, but there will probably have to be some compromise. Since they legally can't develop themselves, they should sell off to a developer that could be far more creative with it. Coming back with a proposal for a couple hundred parking spaces and a couple hundred res...

Neel Kashkari was on WCCO radio this morning and was asked about the ramp. He reiterated that they have a parking problem (lol) and said something to the effect of "we're not done yet." Very ominous.

Re: City Club Apartments - 1000 Marquette Ave (Handicraft Building)

I think it turned out well, it just looks undersized for the downtown core - it's just barely taller than it is wide. Really shows the difference in office vs multifamily floor height.

Re: North Loop Green - Hines - 350 N 5th St(?) - 36 stories / ~400'(?)

Agreed on the comments on vehicle access up a ways. If you have good signage off 3rd Ave and direct office contract and resident parking there, it could work. Might as well not give a reason to direct 500+ cars a day to 5th St. Then have a nice auto court for Ubers/drop-offs that are probably 15-20%...

Re: North Loop Green - Hines - 350 N 5th St(?) - 36 stories / ~400'(?)

It will definitely be a big change to views of the skyline from a distance as it is the first big leap past Hennepin. When US Bank Stadium was announced in 13/14, I thought at the time we would see the skyline start to shift south and east. That's happened to an extent, but the pull of the North Lo...

Re: The Expo - 215 2nd St SE (285' - 26 Stories)

We saw this coming, but here it is in the business journal. Super disappointing. We got two towers in the 70/80s, three (edit: four) towers in the 2010s, will the HPC be reset in 30 years to allow another round?

Re: Wells Fargo Redevelopment - 801 Portland - 16 stories - 180'

If I remember the renderings correctly you're right, there is a small portion next to the alley that is a single story. But all of the new retail square footage is along 8th under the tower. 3-4 walkup units on Park as shown in the plans must be staying.
