MINNEAPOLIS | 1368 LaSalle apartments | 114 m / 376 ft | 35 floors
 

This is really the first legitimate high rise proposal in Minneapolis since the market turned sour a few years ago. Not sure of the official name yet. It sounds like the developer(Magellan Development out of Chicago) hopes to break ground within 6 months. There are lots of apartment projects right now in Minneapolis, this is the first high rise proposal of the current crop though. There is also a Whole Foods slated to break ground this fall, along with a local grocer on the other side of downtown...hopefully those amenities will attract more development downtown.

Not bad! It bears some resemblance to the Omni Hotel tower in Fort Worth, which is a good thing, IMO.

Very nice!!!

Whoa, very nice. Sleek and sexy, I like it! :tup:

Thanks for sharing this info, I'm loving it! Here's to hoping Minneapolis is finally getting back into the swing of things..

Wow!! Love the look of it!

Looks good..:tup:

Looks nice...

:yes:

Since we have a new tower proposal in Minneapolis, I thought I would give this one a quick bump for comparison. The scale of the projects are about the same, they are on opposite ends of downtown. I prefer this tower...as I am sure most would:)

They're tied for first! I think they're both nice and yet totally different! Hope Minny gets a few more. Twins blew another one tonite!!

Very cool! Would be nice to get some more projects going, and hopefully spur some more development as a result.

Emporis has now listed the 1368 LaSalle Tower at 432'.

The height on this one is 374' and it is on the Minneapolis planning commission agenda for today.

For anyone who doesn't follow Minnescraper I thought I'd share here that this was approved last week.

Now let's start digging!!

great! sounds like Minneapolis is going to have two towers going up at the same time soon.

Excellent! This tower is sexy as hell!

According to the plans posted on the CPED website, this is actually 37 stories and 373' 10" at the roof.
