urbanMSP

I didn't think United Properties did "creative". They ignore both function and form and go for bland and inexpensive. I fully expect gray and looking like it belongs in a suburb.

For at least 5 years there has been a sign on the building showing a redevelopment plan. It would be great to see something built here. There is an apartment building being built just behind the building and another lot on the block directly south that would be nice to se something built on as well....

2nd crane went up today.

The crane is up on this now! This thing is going to look massive compared to everything around it.

So if we disagree we're conditioned? There are plenty of cities around the country with no skyway system and downtowns that are desolate. San Antonio's riverwalk is a unique feature compared to other cities, why not try to make the skyways a more positive experience by creating more open areas with ...

Good for him. At least I know where I won't run into him.
North Loop is pretty much skyway free, he should be happy there.

I have a newspaper clipping of the Normandy Inn development. I believe the larger tower was 50 stories and the shorter one was 30 stories. I'll see if I can dig it up. I have to believe the hotels around this are licking their chops with this news! I would think they bring in a lot of business travel.

You're not talking a 50 story building here. The fact that the Ford building is a block away makes that argument seem like a stretch.

Columbia Heights has approved plans for a HyVee on the Rainbow site on Central Ave. https://www.google.com/maps/@45.0473989,-93.24746,3a,75y,270.95h,82.19t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sH4Mv26NWsci5dP3LLQcG4A!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 Ace Hardware, Dollar Tree, and Meineke will remain...

You can go and look at any time, but he usually schedules speakers over the noon hour.

This is awesome news! Glad to see so many projects getting off the ground before winter.

Keep in mind some of these buildings are existing.

I just got a text from one of my neighbors, the lights on the marquee at the Hollywood Theater are now operational! One more step in a very long rehab!

Lol, thanks for the correction. Glad to see this one underway!

I drove past this one today and was surprised at the amount of excavation on this property. Probably not too far from starting some footings.

They were building forms along the south part of the property this morning, looks like they're still bringing in a lot of fill.

It was nice because you could try several craft beers without having to drive to each one. They had an awesome variety and had really good relationships with the local brewers. They have a private room insided the space that can be used for meetings or small parties. These guys had the right idea an...

Man, nordeast homer is way more intriguing now that I know he's been dead the whole time!

I think people on here have wanted me dead, but no luck yet...

Yes, I am not dead. I misunderstood the term murked. I did have 4 cops pull guns on me when I was a janitor once, but obviously still alive... I live near 3 nursing homes and several senior apartment buildings. Ambulances come and go what seems like hourly. They typically use Johnson to get on to 35...

White people don't get murked for a busted tail light. He is absolutely right about that. I actually have. Wondering if anyone else thinks the sit-in on the freeway this morning was a stupid place to block traffic. With its proximity to HCMC they're little game could quite easily become life or dea...
