it's over 10 stories, but it's hospital expansion, but apparently it's still in demolition phase. i believe the cranes are for a 6 story medical research building, and a 6 story mixed use whole foods/apartment project, so no dice.

- WaHu will finish next year

In suburban Eden Prairie:

- Optum Health Tower - 15 floors, almost topped out, should finish next year

In Bloomington:

- JW Marriott Hotel at the Mall of America - 14 floors, just started a few weeks ago

In Edina:

- One Southdale Place - 10 floors (123'-7" from plans), topped out, should finish late this year
