This project is slated to be a 25-story tower anchored toward the corner of 5th Street SE and 15th Avenue SE. Project is estimated for 350-400 dwelling units (approximately 1000 beds). Approximately 240 parking stalls will be included, as will be ground floor commercial uses.
Based on City of Minneapolis staff’s preliminary review, the following land use applications have been identified (when the developer ultimately submits its applications to the City, it intends to ask for the following changes):
Comprehensive plan amendment from Corridor 6 to Transit 20.
Rezoning from C1 and C2 to C3A
Conditional use permit to increase the maximum allowed height from 4 stories to 25 stories.
Variance to increase the maximum floor area ratio from 3.78 to 8.13
Site plan review
Additional applications may be required, depending on the plans that the applicant formally submits.
