This is one of my favorite murals by artist Chuck U. It's painted on 2290 Wycliff, close to my office.<br />
The Creative Enterprise Zone did a great job with the mural fest! It makes the neighborhood feel more vibrant. So much is happening here, but sometimes we fly under the radar.<br />
<br />
I've always felt that the people in the Creative Enterprise Zone knew we had a lot going on, but now we have visual proof! It will be fun to see what the CEZ comes up with next.

Dual Citizen Brewing is now open at 725 Raymond Avenue!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are excited to welcome our new neighbors. Their space is really a nice space to have a beer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Too bad our spring weather hasn't been ideal to open up the glass doors; I bet this space will be great when it's warmer. It nice that you can order from the Naughty Greek too.</div>

The Creative Enterprise Zone continues to attract great businesses!</div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Now that our newest building at 661 LaSalle is up and running, I have a little time to reflect on the progress Update Co. has made in the St. Anthony Park/Creative Enterprise Zone area. This map shows our projects over the years. I'm proud of the positive changes our company has made to the neighborhood, helping to bring investment, workers and energy to an area that was getting a little run down.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It's satisfying to see other groups investing in the area and bringing even more people to the Raymond/University area. I'm excited for the new apartments, restaurants, breweries and other developments. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What would I like to see next? Some better signage, a few more green "pocket parks"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">maybe some cool new public art. Another restaurant would be great too. A left hand turn signal from Raymond to University. How about some of that St. Paul sidewalk poetry? Planters? Replacement trees for all the ash trees we lost?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As we catch our breath after the last development and search for our next opportunity we are thankful for our awesome tenants and great business partners. Can't wait to see what 2018 brings.</span>Sandy at Update Co.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09554063417799463901noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8537989382506428752.post-32678779061521191382017-09-19T11:20:00.000-07:002017-09-19T11:20:01.445-07:00So Excited for a New Restaurant in the CEZ<div class="HeadingText" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #dae7b2; color: #476e00; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">

St. Anthony Park Community Council is excited to announce a restaurant coming soon to University Avenue in the CEZ. Construction is underway for The Naughty Greek at University <span style="font-size: 10pt;">. Coming from a family of over 30 years of Greek restaurant tradition and experience, owner Angelo Giovanis shares the taste of quality ingredients and traditional recipes from his home that he couldn't find when he moved here with his wife 18 years ago. After taking it upon himself and opening doors </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">on Snelling and Selby last year</span> <span style="font-size: 10pt;">, he looks forward to a larger location to expand catering to accommodate larger events. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's an interesting concept - Micro apartments.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The developer of the Carleton Lofts in the CEZ is going to build an 80 unit apartment building with "micro" units that are just 350 to 450 sq. ft. Similar in size to a studio apartment, the units are meant to appeal to millennials who want to use the Green Line LRT to get around. The apartment building will offer a rooftop patio and many other amenities. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The address will be 2323 Charles Ave.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We are excited that the project will bring more people to the neighborhood! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">New housing is really taking shape at 2700 University - a development which will bring 248 apartments into our neighborhood! Occupancy is scheduled for fall 2016 and will include a mix of market rate and affordable housing. The development will have many amenities such as a pool, patio, bike repair station and of course it will be right on the Green Line. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It's pretty exciting when you see all the new developments pinned to this map! We are pleased that the two new housing developments and two office buildings will bring many new jobs and residents to our neighborhood. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Sunrise Banks will build a beautiful office building, I'm sure. Their bank on Como Avenue is very pretty and sustainable development too. With their building and our development at 661 LaSalle, there will be over 150 new workers in the neighborhood every day. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The new new apartments on University will bring hundreds of residents </span><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', sans-serif;">to the area as well. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's hard to see from this photo, but the contractor is placing concrete ceiling over the basement portion of the building.

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sometimes its hard to believe the transformation we have made, even when we worked on it !</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here's a photo from around 1980 when we first purchased the building at 2325 Endicott St. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We removed the addition that was on the right, later we put windows back in the blocked up openings. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In 2013 the Urban Growler did the rest.</span><br />
