Minneapolis Planning

06/27/22

Welcome to Ultraground.

We make sure you know how Minneapolis is changing by going to your local zoning meetings.

June 27th Approvals:

  • 367 Units of Multifamily

  • 575 Units of Adaptive Reuse

Multifamily Title
325 Units

250 Fremont Avenue North

Harrison | 82K SF | 325 Units

250 Fremont is a 7-story building with 325 residential units. It's in an area primed for mixed-use, but it has 0 SF of commercial.

How'd they get away with that? It's not on a Goods and Service Corridor. Plus the first floor will need to be elevated above the flood plain.

It received a conditional use permit to double the height, from 35 to 89 ft. It'll also need a Travel Demand Management Plan (TDMP).

27 Units

2542 Blaisdell Avenue

Whittier | 21K SF | 27 Units

This 3-story brick building came back from the dead. A lawsuit overturned its planning approvals from 2019. Now it's anticipated to be leased up in 2023.

15 parking spaces and 3 Units make up the first floor, with the remaining 24 over that. This got them a FAR increase (1.4>1.69).

110 W 26th Street

Whittier | 4.5K SF | 15 Units

3-story building on a corner lot. 9 parking stalls will complement 15 Units.

This is the same developer as above.

Adaptive Reuse Title

Cedar Duffy 2.0

North Loop | 156K SF | 358 Units

Three parcels will add 358 dwelling units to North Loop. Two of them will reuse beautiful historic buildings.

The third will be a new going up in a previous parking lot. It will have 30K SF of commercial and house most of the parking.

Northstar Center East

Downtown Minneapolis | 329K SF | 216 Units

13 Stories of office will become 216 apartments. But they won't be ditching the offices completely - 500K SF will remain office use.

Historic Tax Credits are being used on this one. It is anticipated for 2024.
