This is one of two propsals for the air rights above a parking ramp adjacent to the new MN Vikings stadium. It looks pretty likely that this is the development that will be moving forward, just received it's first staff reccomendation, final decision is March 28th
The proposal includes a 27 story tower with 200 apartments above a 150 room Radisson Red Hotel. This is a new concept from locally based Radisson recently announced, it is sort of their answer to an Aloft hotel by starwood. Construction would begin in about a year, after the parking ramp portion is complete.

Seen here with the two new Wells Fargo towers and apartment buildings set to start construction next month, and the new stadium that is under construction:
This part of downtown Minneapolis will be one huge construction site for a couple years starting this spring. We should see at least a dozen cranes in this area before summer is over.
