I love the new 27 story proposal on Washington at Hennepin.

^ This and the Northloop proposal 2 blocks away look or have such similarities that it's uncanny.

Nice. Enough proposals that even if a few inevitably fail, *something* will be going up (in addition to what is already under way).

MN/WI · #4 Posted **Sep 5, 2020, 3:56 PM**

I totally agree. 3 nice proposals well underway.

MN/WI · #5 Posted **Sep 6, 2020, 11:56 PM**

You know I was thinking last night a nice new building between 17 Washington N. and the North Loop proposal would be great. I am usually not a fan of buildings clad in black but this would be an appropriate area that I could be on board with that. I'd also want it to be a bit taller than either of these other projects, 30 stories?

Still waiting for that 1,000 foot proposal and 2 million more views to catch up to Salt Lake City. Unreal.

Checking my other sites for new proposals and progress of buildings under construction. Not finding anything. Maybe later?

Anything under construction in downtown St. Paul? And does a St. Paul site on Skyscraperpage.com even exist? And will a high rise ever arise in Uptown?

In the 21 years I lived there, proposals came around for Uptown, east side of Calhoun, but never ever materialized.

Most things in St. Paul are in the 5-6 story category, although there is a rumor that the AECOM - former jail site could start next year, I think that was in the 20 story range.
I don't think you'll ever see a "tower" built in Uptown. Even though there is a 15 story proposal for the former Calhoun Square I'd be surprised if it doesn't get chopped down to 10 stories or so.

I'd like to see a couple tallish buildings go up in Uptown. Put them up on major streets, like Lake or Hennepin.

If they ever built all 4 AECOM buildings it would dramatically change the riverfront, especially if they did anything close to some of the representative drawings they've used. The best part would be the connection down to the river. Also lets not forget that the Energy Center's parking ramp has to be replaced and we've seen some proposals for that as well.

What’s AECOM? Have you got a link for that?

I don't want to explain it. The person it's directed to knows what I mean.

Daily bump.

New Public Office Building -- 11 floors -- office & retail -- Downtown West -- 9/14/20

MN/WI · #17 Posted **Sep 15, 2020, 4:28 PM**

^proof positive that small can be beautiful. One of the best buildings downtown for sure. The inside public level looks to be very promising as well.

Drcastro · #18 Posted **Sep 15, 2020, 5:24 PM**

I like it. Certainly a vast improvement over the parking ramp it replaced. Although if you’d asked me which ramp to tear down, I would have picked the one next door that they left up. Talk about butt-ugly.

Some good news - Deluxe Corporation has announced it’s moving its headquarters to the old TCF building downtown.

The new 600 workers downtown will be great. The building they are choosing is not my favorite. Perhaps down the road they might build their own tower.
