ITASCA LOFTS

Authentic warehouse lofts in the coveted North Loop area of Minneapolis.

Itasca’s warehouse was designed by Franklin B. Long and Frederick G. Kees in 1886. The structure consists of two identical 6 story buildings. The exterior has Richardsonian Romanesque detailing with cream colored brick and large receding arches.

In the 1980s developer Kit Richardson began what is now known as the cities first true loft conversion. Converting Itasca’s building into a mixed use space. This began the full development of what we call the “Warehouse District”. In this development Kit turned this old warehouse into Itasca Lofts. Keeping the warehouse integrity by designing to enhance the exposed brick, timber posts and high ceilings. Itasca Lofts is now the home to 71 units, commercial office space, the Acme Comedy Club and The Loop Coffee Co. A true gem in downtown Minneapolis.

About The North Loop

What used to be a neglected, largely-abandoned section of Minneapolis is now one of the city’s most vibrant and walkable neighborhoods, with award-winning restaurants, fashionable boutiques, bustling taprooms, live music and Major League Baseball just steps away. The North Loop has become the neighborhood in which to live and work, as well as an arts, entertainment, shopping and dining destination.

Forbes magazine calls the North Loop “One of America’s Best Hipster Neighborhoods.” Fodors Travel Guide puts the North Loop on a list of 25 places in the world that avid travelers should check out. Thrillist raves about it’s “rags to riches” story.

It’s not just that the old warehouses and factories have been given new life here. It’s the fact that many of them have been transformed into something truly exceptional.

For instance, a former horse stable is now a nationally-acclaimed restaurant, Spoon and Stable, run by James Beard award-winning chef Gavin Kaysen. An old farm implement warehouse is now the stylish Hewing Hotel, proclaimed “Best Hotel in the Midwest” by Conde Nast Traveler readers and one of the Most Instagrammable Hotels in the U.S. by National Geographic. And the former headquarters of the city’s horse-drawn streetcar system is now home to high-end shops, most notably MartinPatrick3, which Forbes Magazine called “the hottest retailer in America’s hottest retailing city.”

Businesses, especially creative and tech firms, have also gravitated to the North Loop, finding the old warehouse spaces, ease of transportation, neighborhood amenities, and neighborhood energy particularly well-suited to their needs.

The North Loop is also home to a gorgeous section of the Mississippi Riverfront where cyclists, joggers and pedestrians enjoy well-maintained trails and families enjoy the playground in a city park that features tall trees and views of the Minneapolis skyline.

The light rail station at Target Field provides direct access to MSP airport, US Bank Stadium, Allianz Field, the University of Minnesota, downtown St. Paul and other destinations.

And the North Loop’s momentum just keeps building as more people and businesses take note of this urban success story and decide they too want to invest in its future.
