Doesn’t seem terribly likely unless they combine more of their offices into one. 600 people wouldn’t fill up much of a tower.

I agree the (former) TCF building isn’t much to look at. The base has that weird arched brick theme borrowed from the old TCF bank branches (or was it vice versa?). It would be nice if they updated the base at least, but I get the impression the exterior remodeling is essentially done. I think the owners already sunk a bunch of money into getting it “presentable” for prospective tenants.

I agree the other parking ramp was the more ugly of the two. I would have been fine if that was gone and then the newer one could be another plaza.

Appreciate the update! Even captured the aura of the West Coast fire smoke over a good portion of the US at the moment.

[MN/WI]

I think I read they are updating the base. So that is a plus.

I've really warmed up to the new Thrivent HQ. So clean and sharp.

I like the pictures. Haven’t seen it in person yet. But I keep thinking it should have been taller.

Oh I've been to that Carbone's. Where that new construction is going up wasn't that a grocery store?

Yes, it was Bergan's SuperValu before. New building is a Lunds & Byerleys with apartments above.

[MN/WI]

That's a nice replacement, both as a grocery store and for the density.

Possibly the tallest building in the heart of Uptown. I'm not totally opposed to it. https://www.bizjournals.com/twinciti..._news_headline

[MN/WI]

Then again I wouldn't mind if they split the width of the building and put the other half on the NE corner of Henn/Lake.

Really like this story of the refurbished Granada Theater. It used to be a block and a half away from my house. Back then it was called the Suburban but they've restored it to the original name now. I loved the interior. I remember seeing the Titanic there when it first came out in 97. Back when it was set up like a regular theater. https://www.southwestjournal.com/new...ain-in-uptown/

A nice update on the Girard/Lake/Fremont proposal. Still a work in progress but I see the LOCAL is working with the neighborhood. A 2 tower proposal is a possibility but currently it looks like they lopped off 10 stories on the Fremont side of the project. Plans for tall Uptown apartment tower scaled back slightly

[MN/WI]

I really like the 2 tower proposal. It would help to balance things here alot.

200 12th Ave S -- 11 floors -- apartments -- Downtown East/Mill District -- 10/1/20

Cassions are going in, looks like piles will be soon as well.

[MN/WI]

Awesome. Downtown Minneapolis has so much going on. Much more soon.

[MN/WI]

I sure hope the 22 story Fire Station project gets going soon. Will really help to finish Washington Ave S. So stunning the transformation of the area over the past 20 years.
