April 16, 2015, Thursday - Grand Opening Celebration of The Grain Belt Apartments and Historic Grain Belt Office Building

Time: 3:00pm - 4:30pm
 
Location: The Grain Belt Apartments, 1215 Marshall Street NE

On Thursday, April 16, 2015, Everwood Development will celebrate the grand opening of The Grain Belt Apartments and historic Grain Belt Office Building.  The celebration will begin at 3:00 p.m. with a brief program including comments from Everwood co-founder and principal David Dye, Ward 3 Council Member Jacob Frey, and City staff. 

The Grain Belt development is significant to the City of Minneapolis as the site was the last City-owned historic Grain Belt building to be developed.   In 1977, the City saved the one hundred twenty-four year old brewing complex from demolition by designating it as a Landmark and subsequently purchasing the property in 1989, one year before it was listed in the National Register of Historic Places.  Since then, the City has worked with local developers and the State Office of Historic Preservation to secure capital, and to rehabilitate and reinvigorate the brewery complex, which now includes architectural offices, Park Board facilities, a public library branch, a union office, and artist studios.  The Grain Belt Office Building located at 1215 Marshall Street NE was the last portion of the complex to receive this treatment.  Through the Everwood development of The Grain Belt Apartments and Office Building, this historic renovation is now complete.

The Everwood development also preserves the archaeological remnants of the City’s first (and the state’s second) brewery: the Orth Brewery, whose remains have been capped and protected by a public plaza at the corner of Marshall Street and 13th Avenue NE.

Following the grand opening program, attendees will have the opportunity to tour the newly remodeled historic Office Building and The Grain Belt luxury apartments.  The apartments are housed in two, four-story apartment buildings totaling 220,514 sq. ft.  Of the 150 apartment units, 120 have already been leased.  A reception with light refreshments and music will go until 4:30 p.m.
