Since no one has updated Minneapolis/St.Paul lately, here's the latest in brief:

Monte Carlo project: Newly proposed 40-story condominium in the Warehouse district, just a block from the proposed Whole Foods/Two-Twenty-Two 35-story condo/mixed use project and two blocks from the planned two-towered Eclipse condominiums.

The Nicollet: The proposed 56-story condo/office tower got a big boost last week with the report that Hines Interests of Houston has signed on as a partner.

The Carlyle: The 39-story Carlyle condominium tower is continuing construction near the Mississippi river and reached the 25th floor last week.

Jean Nouvel's design for the Tony Award-winning Tyrone Guthrie Theatre has captured attention as testing continued last week on it's innovative LED Marquee towers as well as it's night lighting scheme in preparation for a Grand Opening in late June:



Rumored: There are rumors flying around the Twin Towns that at least one, perhaps two, 1000-foot towers are on the drawing board for downtown Minneapolis. One of the leading candidates for occupancy would be United Health Group Headquarters, 37th on the Fortune 500 list. One possible site the project would occupy is shown here as a ghosted image:
