Great pics! I always enjoy construction pics. They make cities seem alive.

Wow, that's a cool looking project.

[Allan]

Haha. That looks like it would make for some pretty expensive public housing.

[Twin Cities]

Oh ok thanks. I assume that isn't public housing. That name kinda sounds like it.

Grant Park is the neighborhood.

Now:

Here are two more residential towers that will hopefully rise soon:

Proposed for redevelopment of a site located only one block from the banks of the Mississippi River, our design takes maximum advantage of the unobstructed views to the downtown Minneapolis skyline.

Our design envisions 16 floors of housing with 10 townhouse units and one penthouse apartment. Retail and restaurant space is provided at street-level and there are five levels of parking.

Our design for this mixed-use development makes the most of the extraordinary views afforded by the urban site just three blocks from the Mississippi River and overlooking downtown Minneapolis.

The proposed 220,000 gsf project contains 20 floors of housing (20 one-bedroom units, 88 two-bedroom units, 39 student flats, and a single penthouse apartment), street-level retail, and three levels of parking below grade.

I'm not jealous about those winters, but I'm jealous about everything else regarding Minneapolis! You guys are so lucky to be living in such a gorgeous city with a "good head on its shoulders."
