Points clés d'investissement

• Building qualifies for 20% Federal and 20% State Historic Tax Credits.

• Minneapolis faces a 2,752 unit housing deficit with only 59 units under construction. The Twin Cities MSA's construction inventory is 65% below the national average, and RentCafe ranks it the #1 city for rental demand in the U.S. These factors point to strong future absorption and rent growth.

• Premier location boasting a 96 walk score, 93 transit score, and 95 bike score. Five Fortune 500 companies are within a five-minute walk.

• The Lumber Exchange offers exceptional value at significantly below replacement cost (current construction costs exceed $600 PSF). In-place rents of approximately $17 PSF are 55% below the $35+ PSF needed for new construction, creating both value and a safety margin for institutional investors.

• Current ownership has invested over $700,000 to advance the conversion project, completing entitlements, design planning, and GC pricing. The Downtown Minneapolis Neighborhood Association has formally endorsed the project.
