Downtown Minneapolis Office Market
Re: Downtown Office Market
Man, since Target switched to a casual dress code, downtown basically just feels like a mall.

Re: Downtown Office Market
So anywhere with a large gathering of people who are not wearing suits is a mall?
Re: Downtown Office Market
Don't worry, Nick. With the Strib staff moving into the core, they'll bring it more of that swap meet vibe we've been aspiring to.

Re: Downtown Office Market
TCF moving remaining downtown employees to Plymouth. Only downtown presence will be a branch. Appeal as a potential employer just went down a notch, not that I'd ever want to work for Bill Cooper anyways. Can a Chicago bank buy them out already?

Re: Downtown East Project (Ryan Companies / Wells Fargo)
Hoping the Strib uses this as an opportunity to liven up the Skyway and street levels of the Park Bldg... there's not much going on for street life on this side of the Capella complex or the Ameriprise building. It would be a nice bookend for the Gov Center / Accenture Tower parks... bridging government and commerce - the MEDIA!

Prime real estate. This should be torn down. That building destroyed the Foshay tower. It is way to close.TCF moving remaining downtown employees to Plymouth. Only downtown presence will be a branch.

Haha, 4 people work out of a warehouse in Fridley.
Re: Downtown Office Market
When I close my accounts there this month, and they ask why, I'm saying it's because they're abandoning downtown for the suburbs.

Re: Downtown Office Market
They saw this coming, so let's see what evolves on the development of this property now (how fast and on what scale I guess are the pertinent questions going on behind closed doors.)

Re: Downtown Office Market
I guess I didn't realize that by TCF leaving that it opens the door for the much talked about TCF redevelopment site, which many here have prognosticated as being the location for the city's next supertall. However, I wasn't previously aware that the potential redevelopment would be pending on this move (or at least the one bldg vacating).
So does this mean that only now developers can start looking into redevelopment here, or is there reason to believe that something is already in the works and details are likely going to be revealed before the year's up?
Whatever it is, it's going to have to compliment the Foshay and somehow restore some if its observation deck views. If they could have used the TCF tower space as well, I could envision a semicircle surrounding Foshay that highlights the building and then rises up over it in a way that aspires and reaches for the sky.

What else will us public sector employees look up to??Don't worry, Nick. With the Strib staff moving into the core, they'll bring it more of that swap meet vibe we've been aspiring to.

"The site is one of, if not the, best locations in downtown Minneapolis, Friend said. "We are fully aware of the development potential of that site."

Maybe it is time to create a new thread called TCF Bank Building site or is there an old one we can bring back to life?

Re: Downtown Office Market
Let's hold off until we get something more substantial.
Re: Downtown Office Market
goodbye TCF and your awful chairman. Remember Bill Cooper's anti-downtown rant druing a speech he gave at the repub state convention a few years ago.
the building is ugly. i hope something of quality replaces it.

Re: Downtown Office Market
The way I read the BizJournals article, the tall, ugly building will remain. It's the short building on the corner of Marquette that will be up for redevelopment.

Re: Downtown Office Market
But what difference does it make....? The demand for office space just decreased with TCF's move....other than wells fargo, who else is expanding downtown....this proposal is at least 5 years away.
