New On the Minneapolis Skyline:  1369 Spruce Place 

I don’t handle luxury rentals — only sales — so my interest in the building is strictly non-professional.

1369 SpruceBut, as a Minneapolitan who likes exciting, even edgy architecture, Magellan Group’s new, 36 story tower on the south end of downtown Minneapolis is certainly a welcome addition.

Its glitzy glass facade, acute angles, and narrow, almost sail-like profile make it look like it might be more at home in Miami’s skyline than Minneapolis’.

Here’s hoping it’s a success, and inspires more such developments nearby (many of the existing towers around Loring Park are now approaching 40 years old, and lack many of the amenities associated with luxury rentals (indoor dog park, anyone??).

P.S.:  While I’m not necessarily a fan of higher density outside the city center — I’m all for it downtown.
