2019 NAIOP Award of Excellence, Mixed Use – East End Apartments
East End Apartments, in Downtown Minneapolis, received the NAIOP 2019 Award of Excellence for Mixed Use.
Completed in early 2018, East End Apartments is part of Sherman Associates’ overhaul of the entire city block formed by Washington Ave N., 3rd St., Park Ave., and Chicago Ave.
The 7-story building is comprised of 180 market-rate residential units. The project includes 20,000 SF commercial space, the majority of which has been leased to Trader Joe’s. In addition, a two-story Starbucks opened early 2019. To ensure East End remained cohesive with the existing fabric of historic buildings, special attention was been paid to design. Areas of sensitivity include its neutral color palate, square geometric form, and the addition of a parapet to the roof-line.
Thank you to our partners!
