And if you catch the right seasons, you can see the IDS under construction (Hubert White-ish portion) when they feature exterior shots.this building was featured on every episode of the old mary tyler moore show. the show's wjm tv station offices were there. if you ever want to see a slice of 70's mpls watch the opening credits and first few minutes of this show. awesome stuff.
That was Prudential before Target that the building was wired more to IT type jobs, so I'm pretty sure that a lot of the employees at this site would be more along the lines of IT which are moving to the BP campus. Not sure now that Canada is no long a part of Target's market that they really needed that large campus up in BP. But that was started before the great Target crash came with the Canada debacle and the credit card fiasco. Target probably needs the cash from the real estate and having all that BP space that is probably not all needed, they found it just too hard not to consolidate. Also that 394 real estate should fetch a nice price premium just for its location close to DT.Wish they would be moving these folks downtown... I'm guessing they would prefer downtown...

Thanks for doing all that, btw. I finally read one of the print stories on the move and there was a buried nugget that Target also extended their lease at City Center, for an undisclosed length of time. I'm pretty sure it was already good through 2023. IIRC from previous articles, they have flexibility in that lease to reduce their footprint and give up space over time. None of that points to them building a new downtown facility any time soon though.Since this really doesn't have anything to do with DT Mpls other than the hypothetical wish of all of us that jobs were moving DT rather than BP... can we keep the discussion in the relevant threads?

I'll guess the recent extension news is that they officially signed (some length of) those extension options. It's probably safe to say that Target will have a sizable presence in City Center thru at least the mid-2020s.http://www.startribune.com/business/42761172.html
"The new lease term will extend through December 2023, with renewal extensions through 2038."
The new landlord and tenant are already getting along, as IDS Center has hired Perkins+Will for a project.
“After seeing Perkins+Will’s exciting design renderings for its new workspace and reviewing its innovative solutions for its other clients, Accesso Partners, owner of IDS Center, contracted with the firm to create a new architectural approach for our Nicollet Mall entrance," Deb Kolar, the IDS Center’s general manager said in the release.
I think the current one is flat with 4-5 revolving doors. Can't remember if it has a double entry for a thermal break.Sounds more like they're wanting to renovate the current entrance
