New Team Takes Over Historic Foshay Tower

MINNEAPOLIS-Upland Real Estate Group takes over duties for the tallest building in the Twin Cities, a 90%-occupied, 74-year-old art deco building that's a proven favorite for small tenants seeking intimate office space.

MINNEAPOLIS-Upland Real Estate Group Inc. is taking over leasing for the 90%-leased Foshay Tower, the tallest building in the Twin Cities and one of the best-known landmarks in Minnesota. The newly renovated, 32-floor office building has what Upland describes as “intimate office” space with skyway access and heated underground parking.

An eccentric millionaire, Wilbur Foshay built the art deco Foshay Tower in 1929 just before the Wall Street stock market crash, and held a grand opening featuring a performance by John Philip Souza. Foshay Tower was the first skyscraper erected west of the Mississippi, towering above the other buildings in Downtown Minneapolis for 42 years.
