Apparently that'll be a different BBQ joint.Speculation that Market BBQ will be headed to the former Legends space on East Hennepin.
I think they're referring mainly the Alatus and CityClub buildings and threw this is as added information. Personally, I don't mind this proposal. It would be nice to have a design for a building like this to make the street-level retail more of a focus.I just want to know when 6 story buildings became "towers"
Minneapolis ain't Grand Marais...
I think there is something a little sad about it, but the goal of this project is to incorporate at least 3 of those local businesses, and I think this momentum could help create development on the opposite side of the street creating more retail locations for small businesses and really filling out the neighborhood.Just read about this in the Strib article about new housing in the south end of downtown: http://www.startribune.com/two-new-towe ... 477805193/.
Am I the only person that's a little disappointed that they're currently demolishing almost the entire historic commercial district of Loring Park? I get that from many perspectives it's a better use of land than 1-story shop-fronts (and that they were pretty ordinary shop fronts at that) but with this and the project to the south there will be almost no remnants of what was (as of earlier this year) a functioning walkable neighborhood commercial node full of small local businesses.
It was mentioned up thread that this developer has spoken with the current tenants about a future in the new building. We know Market BBQ has found a new home. Ryan's Pub is also out (I shed a single tear). Hopefully this indicates motivation to get retail bays filled, but we'll just have to wait and see.I like the LaSalle side as well, and the orange siding is totally fine by me, but the huge expanses of white panels are pretty disappointing. However, I like that the retail spaces look to be smaller. I hope they fill in quickly and we don't have a case of a landlord holding out for 3 years for the Apple Store (or whatever) that's not coming.
