Dirt's Flying on $24-Mil Mill City Museum

MINNEAPOLIS-Construction crews have descended on a riverfront site that come late 2002 will boast the Mill City Museum, a $24-million project that also includes 62,000 sf of office space and an education center.

MINNEAPOLIS-Construction is under way on Mill City Museum, a $24-million project coming to the banks of the Mississippi River in downtown Minneapolis.

The nine-story project preserves the ruins of a National Historic Landmark–the Washburn Crosby A Mill Ruin. Located in the heart of the Mills District between Second Street and the West River Parkway, the museum will combine new construction with adaptive reuse of the historic mill, with a focus on flour milling, water power and regional history. The project will be completed in late 2002.

The building’s top five floors will be developed into offices by Brighton Development, which has also built loft housing in the revitalized neighborhood. Brighton proposes to develop 62,000 sf of office space and possibly an event center above what will be the St. Anthony Falls Heritage Center and Museum. Plans also include 500 underground and 330 surface parking spaces for the Heritage Museum and commercial space. Sheehy Construction Co. of St. Paul is the general contractor.
