What was once surface parking has been reimagined as North Loop Green - a lively, versatile space for the community. We talked to Katie Andres, Events Manager for North Loop Green, about all the components of this unique development: residential, business, dining and an ever-growing list of public events.
Katie AndresQ: Please tell us about North Loop Green.
A: North Loop Green, 350 N 5th Street in the North Loop, is a mixed-use development in downtown Minneapolis, designed to seamlessly integrate living, working, and recreational spaces. We offer residential, corporate, dining and a one-acre outdoor space, called “The Green.” The project boasts the city's tallest skyway, connecting the residential and office towers.
North Loop Green transformed former surface parking lots into a dynamic, multi-functional community space. The Green is open from sunrise to sunset – the businesses’ operating hours are listed on their websites.
Q: Can you share more details about the residential, corporate offices and restaurants at North Loop Green?
- Residential Living: North Loop Green 360 offers 354 luxury rental units, ranging from studios up to large 3-bedroom apartments. Additionally, there are 96 short-term rental units on 8 floors - Sonder North Loop Green Apartments - providing upscale accommodations with amenities like a fitness center, infrared sauna, and an outdoor spa pool. The short-term rental units have a two-night minimum – we’ve been completely booked with the Twins season now underway.
- Office Space: Our corporate space is 70% leased. Piper Sandler Companies will move in this month and occupy two floors. Other tenants include ESG Architects, KPMG and Varde Partners. The 14-story office tower provides 350,000 square feet of creative and flexible workspace.
- Dining: Chef Brian Ingram has two restaurants at North Loop Green. Hope Breakfast Bar serves breakfast and lunch. Salt & Flour offers lunch and dinner. The two restaurants share a kitchen. Bassett Hound, our bar adjacent to the patio space is closed Monday, but open the other six days of the week. Bassett Hound has a full bar and offers ‘grab and go’ food items – flatbreads, charcuterie, hummus, sliders – to enjoy on The Green. Bassett Hound gets its name from Bassett Creek, which runs beneath the development.
- Public Green Space: At the heart of North Loop Green is a one-acre park known as "The Green," which we envision as a communal gathering spot with year-round programming. You’ll find something happening here almost every day of the year – yoga, vintage clothing events, trivia, Twins pre-gaming, movie nights, Children’s Theater events and more. Check out the events calendar and sign up for notifications. Ninety percent of our events are free and open to the public.
