Overview / Details

In 2008, Sherman Associates completed and opened the 155-room Aloft Minneapolis, located at 900 Washington Avenue S. in the historic Mill District neighborhood of Minneapolis. Part of the Marriott International brand, Aloft Minneapolis features guest rooms on floors two through five, while the first floor is dedicated to guest services, hotel amenities, common areas, and 4,000 SF of commercial space.

Being recognized as a 2008 Finalist in Hospitality Development/Redevelopment by the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal, the Aloft stands as a representation of Sherman’s dedication to the revival and development of urban settings.

In its continued commitment to the development of the entire block in the historic Mill District, Sherman Associates constructed the Zenith, which delivered 64 luxury condominium homes.

Adjacent to the Aloft Minneapolis, and just steps away from Gold Medal Park, the Mississippi River, river trails and recreation, and downtown Minneapolis, the Zenith offers residents contemporary living within the dynamic environment of an urban location. The project garnered the prestige of the 2010 Honor Award for Excellence in Concrete Design & Construction.

In 2017, Sherman completed the transformation of the block with the 11-story 123-unit luxury apartment building, Encore.
