Quote from Franklin Street Properties quarterly webcast this month talking about a proposed mixed use tower right smack dab in the central core of Downtown Minneapolis...
"Additionally, we have made progress on a redevelopment plan for our CBD Minneapolis, Minnesota property located at 801 Marquette Avenue. Although subject to change, FSP currently contemplates co-developing an approximately 50-story, mixed-use tower that would include a full-service hotel, residential apartments and office space. Under the current plan, FSP would contribute the land and approximately $80 to $90 million in additional capital costs for 100% ownership of the office portion of the project, which is tentatively slated to be approximately 260,000 rentable square feet in the middle of the tower stack. FSP is working with a residential group and hotel company to further evaluate the project. Final costing and development agreements have yet to be concluded and are fully subject to change and/or cancellation. If successful in the costing and pre-development work ahead, we intend to break ground on the project sometime during the second half of 2016. Significant thought and design are being incorporated into the redevelopment of 801 Marquette Avenue in order to integrate it with and enhance the appeal of its next-door neighbor office building, FSP’s tower at 121 South Eighth Street".
