Eric Best also tweeted about it. I'll check by later tonight!

Lets hope there will be no more delays and it opens next year

Won't someone consider all the rats being displaced...

I'm sure they'll find a happy new home at red 20, where the incompetent management will probably throw them a kegger in the courtyard and annoy half the residents.

what is a thing that you like?

New windows on the retail bays facing Central. I took a picture but am stymied by having to upload it externally to post here. Maybe next time.

I bet Red20 management is pissed that the guy who complains about everything moved out.

I'm sure people paying 2-3 grand a month for rent on their two and three bedroom apartments love listening to college students throwing parties well into the night. Nope, I'm the only one that has a problem with that kind of behavior. Everyone loves listen to someone clomp around in high heels 3-4 hours a day above them too, I'm sure. Or being told to call a caretaker that doesn't exist and/or doesn't answer their phone. Or waiting 3-4 business days for a reply to an email when you see the people in the office every day sitting there looking bored. Or having them shorten and cancel their already abnormally short office hours without notice when you have packages you would like to pick up. Or any number of other things that are totally unacceptable for a building in that price range.

Hope you're on the top floor of LPM.

Luckily LPM is concrete.

Exactly.

Looking to sublease my place across the street from LPM if anyone is interested. Cat not included.

moving already?

It's a whole thing

Pile driving in the lot behind the building this morning.

The one to the east? I thought someone had said they weren't adding the additional apartments in the vacant lot in the end?

Yeah, I'm not sure what's happening, but that's what I saw.

Aren't they building some structured parking behind the existing buildings?

They are building a parking structure that will be built on at a later date. But they will need parking at the start so that is why ist is being built now.

Here is the Leasing page for the retail/restaurant portion: http://www.hoytproperties.com/index.php ... velopment/

I also found on the city website that in back in December the city council approved their request for a transit oriented development grant submission to the county: http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/www/gro ... 135021.pdf

Good to see that there's at least a little movement on this!

Weird tho that Hoyt properties bothered to commission a rendering of just the refurbished 700-708 Central buildings alone, not including the proposed penthouse additions or the new stick-frame building that would be added to the parking lot behind it. But it's been just 8 months since approval, so I don't think there's cause to ring the "cancellation" alarm quite yet.



Compare that to plans from when the whole project was approved in April 2014: http://minneapolismn.gov/www/groups/pub ... 122686.pdf

Based off of this post I'm assuming?

You can see the stubbed support columns in the parking area.
