J.I. Case Building honored with Top Project of 2023 Award by Finance & Commerce
The J.I. Case Building, home of Sherman Associates' corporate headquarters, was honored at the Top Projects of 2023 Awards hosted by Finance & Commerce!
Sherman Associates completed a $35 million historic rehabilitation of the 63,000 SF building with a new collaboration-focused office for its headquarters and refreshed lower level and first floor food and beverage and retail space boasting approximately 20,000 SF. The most significant alteration of the building was the addition of a 7,000 SF rooftop patio. The patio provides space for a tenant-operated rooftop bar/restaurant, Sherman’s headquarters, and a spa pool, sauna, and guest lounge subleased by Canopy by Hilton Minneapolis Mill District located next door. The historic allure of the building was maintained with prominent floor-to-ceiling windows and high ceilings.
The J.I. Case Building rehabilitation is the final piece of Sherman’s redevelopment of the entire city block, made up of three buildings owned and operated by Sherman including: East End Apartments, Starbucks, Canopy by Hilton Minneapolis Mill District hotel, and Umbra restaurant as well as commercial tenants, Chloe by Vincent, Trader Joe’s and Jimmy John’s.
The construction industry experienced its fair share of challenges in 2023. From persistent inflation to higher interest rates and labor shortages, developers have had to be flexible and steadfast to get projects from the proposal stage to completion. Despite all those challenges, last year saw so many successful project completions that 54 honorees were selected for Finance & Commerce’s annual Top Projects awards.
When selecting the projects, an independent panel of judges looked at the degree of difficulty, creativity in design, innovative construction techniques, cooperation among contractors and management, and sustainability efforts.
