Good news! Let's hope this gets moving.

It looks like this may actually be about to get going! It's been a slow period for high rise construction in Minneapolis, let's hope so!

Magellan has hired someone to market this and another new tower in Chicago...mentioned in these recent articles:

I love to see American cities begin to thaw and progress again. This looks like a really solid project.

This is a great looking building. It sort of reminds me of one that's under construction here. I just hope our's looks that good. That rendering is beautiful.

They haven't actually started digging yet, but apparently closed on their construction loan today, according to sources! Parking lot is clear, the last cars were towed.

Cool... it will be a nice addition to the Minneapolis skyline.

TallBob · #29 Posted **Oct 26, 2012, 7:15 AM**

I'll be in Minneapolis for Christmas. I'll have to take alook!!

MNMike · #30 Posted **Oct 29, 2012, 2:59 PM**

It's official. Kind of a weird title...as it will be a while before there is a crane I imaging.

MNMike · #32 Posted **Nov 6, 2012, 10:58 PM**

they are chugging along at this site...3 small cranes have been assembled...I expect a tower crane will go up soon and foundation work will begin. Should be able to move this to the under construction side very soon!

when will it be completed

IMBY · #35 Posted **Nov 18, 2012, 3:17 AM**

It's nice to see something going up in the Loring Park area, my old stomping grounds in the early 70's. Why did it take so long get more development in that area!!!
Now if they'd just reface that ugly eyesore, the Hyatt Regency!!! That must be the ugliest Hyatt ever built!

TallBob · #36 Posted **Nov 18, 2012, 7:00 AM**

IMBY: The Hyatt isn't the worst.... but it's definetely in the to 10!

Yes, in the "Proposed" forum. This is now under construction.

You know you can just request to a mod for that thread to be transferred?

MNMike · #40 Posted **Nov 19, 2012, 9:22 PM**

They are drilling pilings at the site...I see there is a new thread in the construction side...should this one just be moved over instead? not sure how that works on here.
