Burlap Lofts is a new, 50,000-square-foot boutique office and retail destination in Northeast Minneapolis' booming East Bank/Nicollet Island neighborhood. Located at 501 1st Ave NE and originally constructed in 1910, this two-building, three- and four-story loft complex has undergone a top-to-bottom redesign to offer creative lux-loft office spaces, retail shops, and a gorgeous mix of tenant amenities inside and out. High design meets historic charm in these century-old brick-and-timber structures. Few locations in the country offer a dynamic combination of surrounding dining, shopping, entertainment, and outdoor enjoyment.
Occupancy at Burlap Lofts offers tenants flexible layouts and top-of-the-line amenities throughout a distinctively modern reimagining of this early twentieth-century facility. Available spaces range between 2,000 and +/- 35,000 square feet. Adaptive-reuse features include a new 9-foot passenger elevator and a new corridor addition that connects the two buildings. Upon arrival, occupants and guests of Burlap Lofts are greeted by a grand entrance and courtyard that affords easy access to the outdoor terrace and the second-floor luxury tenant lounge. Loft features include nine-foot clear heights and ample space for bike and e-bike storage. Additional features include rustic, exposed brick and timber facades, polished concrete floors, and incredible natural light from every side. The tenant lounge will offer a full kitchen, big-screen TVs, gaming options, table tennis, ultra-comfortable seating options, and a rooftop garden terrace. The space is tastefully decorated featuring art from a variety of local artists and sculptors.
Known for its art galleries and convenient location, Northeast Minneapolis lies across the river from Downtown Minneapolis. It is considered a melting pot stocked full of experimental restaurants, craft breweries, dive bars, and more. This rapidly expanding section of Minneapolis also provides easy access to Grand Rounds National Scenic Byway, home to more than 50 miles of trails winding throughout Minneapolis, accessible via St Anthony Parkway and Stinson Parkway. Rich with history and mounting an urban resurgence rivaled by few American cities, Northeast Minneapolis is the perfect place to expand or launch your business.
