I was reading about the sky scrapers that are being built in New York.. They are building 4-5 skyscrapers over 1000 feet tall and I think at least 3 of them are going to be taller than the Empire State building.. Real estate is pretty expensive in Manhattan.. I know in one of the buildings taller than the Empire State building, 432 Park Avenue, they already sold an apartment in there for $95 million that has 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.... Building is the tallest strictly residential building in the world at just under 1400 feet.
Made me think of Minneapolis and all the skyscrapers they have built since the 1990s.... When I drove into Minneapolis from Ohio, I used to see from St. Paul the IDS center with its blinking lights at the top, towering over Minneapolis..The Foshay tower was the 2nd tallest in my youth.. Now, I think there are 14-15 buildings in the city taller than the Foshay. Are all those tall buildings occupied with tenants in Minneapolis?? I am guessing large law firms and a few big businesses occupy them.. I know the for-profit college, Capella, is a large occupier of its namesake building....That real estate gets pretty expensive, I imagine.. Just wondering, if in this economy, that Minneapolis is holding its own with business occupying the downtown area.
