MINNEAPOLIS | 1368 LaSalle apartments | 114 m / 376 ft | 35 floors

This is really the first legitimate high rise proposal in Minneapolis since the market turned sour a few years ago. Not sure of the official name yet. It sounds like the developer(Magellan Development out of Chicago) hopes to break ground within 6 months. There are lots of apartment projects right now in Minneapolis, this is the first high rise proposal of the current crop though. There is also a Whole Foods slated to break ground this fall, along with a local grocer on the other side of downtown...hopefully those amenities will attract more development downtown.

Not bad! It bears some resemblance to the Omni Hotel tower in Fort Worth, which is a good thing, IMO.

Thanks for sharing this info, I'm loving it! Here's to hoping Minneapolis is finally getting back into the swing of things..

Looks nice...

Since we have a new tower proposal in Minneapolis, I thought I would give this one a quick bump for comparison. The scale of the projects are about the same, they are on opposite ends of downtown. I prefer this tower...as I am sure most would

They're tied for first! I think they're both nice and yet totally different! Hope Minny gets a few more. Twins blew another one tonite!!

Very cool! Would be nice to get some more projects going, and hopefully spur some more development as a result.

Emporis has now listed the 1368 LaSalle Tower at 432'.

MNMike · #13 Posted **Dec 12, 2011, 5:22 PM**

The height on this one is 374' and it is on the Minneapolis planning commission agenda for today.

For anyone who doesn't follow Minnescraper I thought I'd share here that this was approved last week.

Now let's start digging!!

This is an old post I know, but I've updated the thread title. The 374 foot height (373 feet 10 inches) is the height when you measure it from the south and west. However, the elevations show the north and east sides of the building to be 375 feet 10 inches when measured from that side. The building also has 37 overall floors, but two of those are mechanical levels. The building only has 35 actual occupied residential floors.

This is completed now isn't it?

great! sounds like Minneapolis is going to have two towers going up at the same time soon.

daperpkazoo · #19 Posted **Dec 23, 2011, 10:31 PM**

According to the plans posted on the CPED website, this is actually 37 stories and 373' 10" at the roof.

If a mod could change the thread title, that would be great!

done, thanks!
