Soo Line Building Apartments - (501 Marquette Avenue)
Re: Soo Line Building Apartments - (501 Marquette Avenue)
The first few floors are supposed to open August 31 for residents, so I would assume the skyway will reopen by then.
Re: Soo Line Building Apartments - (501 Marquette Avenue)
Another possibility is that the square windows would go better with the more modern building next door.

The lighting at night is beautiful!
Re: Soo Line Building Apartments - (501 Marquette Avenue)
Wow!! That is going to look awesome with that lighting scheme. Better than any new construction would look for a building that size.
Re: Soo Line Building Apartments - (501 Marquette Avenue)
Looks nice. I realize it is pretty standard with architctural photography to correct the perspective to make vertical lines actually vertical (I do it a lot with my photos), this is an example where it is overdone. Just my opinion, but it is rwally distorted... I was actually contacted by Village Green about selling a photo of Mill Ruins Park that I had on flickr to use in their promotional materials, but at the last minute the decided they didn't need it...

Re: Soo Line Building Apartments - (501 Marquette Avenue)
it's just nice that it will look "open" into the evening, and the bright simple awnings are lively too!
Re: Soo Line Building Apartments - (501 Marquette Avenue)
That rendering looks fantastic. Good to see a pre WWII building live on.
Re: Soo Line Building Apartments - (501 Marquette Avenue)
I wonder how they will finish the area around the window arches? Originally it was carved granite, but I imagine it would be difficult to match the existing stone and level of detail. I really enjoy going by this building and checking out the recent progress. It's a beautiful old building and a very exciting project.

Lord, what is a 'sexy bath'.
Q. What, what? A. In da butt.
Re: Soo Line Building Apartments - (501 Marquette Avenue)
Does it mean a bathroom with a great tub and shower to have sex in?Lord, what is a 'sexy bath'.
Re: Soo Line Building Apartments - (501 Marquette Avenue)
Or a bath that makes you sexy? Cause I'd totally pay that rent then...Does it mean a bathroom with a great tub and shower to have sex in?Lord, what is a 'sexy bath'.
Re: Soo Line Building Apartments - (501 Marquette Avenue)
All this sexy bathroom talk makes me wonder which way their "curved shower rod" curves.

Re: Soo Line Building Apartments - (501 Marquette Avenue)
Ok guys, this is getting completely out of hand.
How come no one has mentioned the "multiple deep drawer storage"?

Re: Soo Line Building Apartments - (501 Marquette Avenue)
^^^Can't resist: Do they differentiate between the people who like the top or bottom drawer???
Re: Soo Line Building Apartments - (501 Marquette Avenue)
Wow. $1700+ per month before you can even get a sleeping area with a window...

Re: Soo Line Building Apartments - (501 Marquette Avenue)
I was thinking this was actually a little more affordable than some other new projects, isn't it? The one bedrooms start at $1400 for decent-sized units in a very central location with brand new finishes/appliances/laundry in the units. That's not exactly the attorney price range--a young couple could live here fairly easily while working decent jobs.

Re: Soo Line Building Apartments - (501 Marquette Avenue)
If I was a young couple... I wouldn't need the sexy bath. But yes, for two, that's reasonable.
Re: Soo Line Building Apartments - (501 Marquette Avenue)
Prices are not outrageous, but it's still more than most of the new rental developments along Washington.
That being said, I'd rather live in this building which has a lot more class, better location a great amenities. It's certainnly the "it" place to rent in or near downtown Minneapolis.
