  Plans are under way for a future Trader Joe's to unfold in the Uptown area along Lyndale and 27th St in the coming months.  The only thing stopping the Minneapolis real estate development taking place are city and neighborhood approvals.

The Proposal
A new 14,000 square foot Trader Joe’s grocery and liquor store on the corner of 27th Street and Lyndale Avenue in the Wedge area of Minneapolis. This is just outside of Lyn-Lake and the core of Uptown. Currently the site is home to four buildings with two separate owners.

One owner has been in the neighborhood since the mid 60s, the Geurts family.  They own the Sunnyside Up Cafe/Coin Laundry building, the building that’s home to a tee-shirt shop and the building that’s home to Planet Soccer. 

  The past few months have been a flurry of development activity in downtown Minneapolis.  The latest news comes from a developer based out of Chicago who has been responsible for a significant amount of real estate development across the country: Magellan Development. 

  Plans call for 355 units of luxury rentals in a 36 story building that would be glass curtain wall in a sleek shape.  Ammenities would cover the tower such as 24 hour doorman, pool and fitness center. 

  If the developer gets approval from the city which could come in the next few weeks plans would unfold rapidly and initial lease up would start as early as the beginning of 2012.  if all goes according to plan occupancy would start early 2013.
