FEATURE ARTICLE NICOLLET MALL RENOVATION

by Natina James — RSP Architects

WE OFTEN ASK WHY DO OUTDOOR COMMUNITY SPACES MATTER? Nicollet Mall is one of ’ most successful outdoor Originally spaces that attracts people and businesses to help create and maintains a vibrant downtown core. Nicollet Mall was [Nicollet Mall] first conceived and planned in 1962-1967 after the historic and controversial demolition of the Gateway District. The was designed Gateway District was one of Minneapolis’ first commercial districts centered on Nicollet and Hennepin Avenues. As the City evolved, the commercial district started moving toward Washington Avenue – allowing less desired uses to as an eight- take over the area (pawn shops, flop houses, burlesque theatres and bars). block stretch of The designer for Nicollet Mall was Lawrence Halprin and Associates. – closing off Originally it was designed as an eight-block stretch of Nicollet Avenue automobile – closing off automobile traffic and creating an 80-foot swath through traffic and the heart of downtown. This was in direct response to attract retailers and people back to the core as suburbia was drawing people and creating an business’ away. Retail was also transforming from street-front to a new 80-foot swath concept – internal Shopping Center, the first being Southdale, which through opened in Edina in 1956. The initial investment included pedestrian the heart of respites, gardens and tree-lined boulevard (uncommon in downtown) downtown. at a cost of 3.875 million dollars.1 The original design did allow for a 24’ wide vehicle path in an “S” curve. The mall was redesigned in 1990 by BRW Inc. – and the alignment was changed to a “C” curve. One commercial anchor to the pedestrian mall was the seven story Dayton’s Dry Goods Company (Department Store). It was originally founded as R.S. Goodfellow & Company dry in 1902. In 1903, George Draper Dayton bought out the original partners and renamed the Company to The Dayton Company. Dayton’s acted as a main anchor to Nicollet Mall until rebranded as Marshall Fields in 2001.

We often say that retail developments needed anchors. Nicollet Mall has enjoyed many anchors ranging from commercial to business including IDS by Philip Johnson in 1972 as the tallest building in the State at 792 feet, Orchestra Hall designed by HGA which opened for its first concert season in 1974, the wonderfully playful modernist outdoor plaza design by Paul Friedberg – Peavey Plaza 1974.

Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Group, said “Every success story is a tale of constant adaption, revision and change. A company that stands – continued on page 2 page 2

still will soon be forgotten.”2 Not to be forgotten, we have witnessed the re-imagining of Nicollet Mall for the third time. The City of Minneapolis invested over 50 million dollars and worked with designers James Corner Field Operations. Although there was excitement regarding the project, the changes were often painful and disrupting. The community was frustrated, as the majority of work was underground and not immediately appreciated. Nicollet mall was closed or under construction for more than two years. Many businesses on Nicollet Mall saw a drops of 30% or more in sales. National retailers, such as Macy’s, Barnes & Noble, Sports Authority and Gap, have left or soon will be closing. Popular restaurants, including Ichiban, Masa and Vincent, have been chased away such due to loss of sales. Mayor Betsy Hodges told WCCO that “It will be well worth the wait — improving the pedestrian experience for all those who come to shop, dine and be entertained in our vibrant downtown.”3 My favorite quote regarding the project was from Council Member and Mayor Elect Jacob Frey — “Yes, we were all watching the sausage get made and at times, it does get a little bit disgusting when you’re watching that happen, but the end result is going to be delicious.”4

Nicollet Mall reopened in November of 2017. The project is intended to meet new urban and social trends as well as modernize and improve the infrastructure. New environmentally friendly LED lighting, and curb free intersections were provided for public safety and convenience. Most importantly, public social spaces were created, sheltered by native plantings oak trees and artist designed lanterns. Investments were made in unique experiences such as the Light Walk — a unique two block outdoor led corridor leading to center destination for programmed attractions and public events. There’s also a curated outdoor gallery of public art. The 1960’s, 16 foot-high clock sculpture at 11th Street and Nicollet was restored. A new art installment by Ned Kahn — “The Prairie Tree” was installed on the east – continued on page 3

This historic renovation returned two buildings hidden for decades behind layers of paint and metal cladding back to its original condition.

side of Nicollet at 10th and 11th. A series of seven pieces by artists Seitu Jones, Ta-coumba and poet Soyini Guyton were reinstalled in their homes between 12th and 13th streets. The main hole covers customized by artist Kate Burke to represent Minnesota – loons, walleye and lady slippers were re-installed. The City has committed to an art rich environment, with many more pieces to be discovered by visitors. A walk down Nicollet will be a continual discovery as new pieces will be found or reinterpreted during each visit.

To date, the investment proved worthy as Nicollet Mall served as the stage for Super Bowl LII Live Experience – during a typically slow time for downtown businesses. For 10 days there were different events such as National Broadcasts, free concerts, NFL Shop, Super Bowl LII Photo Ops, American Birkebeiner International Bridge, Ice Rink, Super Bowl 360, Vikings Longhouse, Polaris Upside Downtown (snowmobile stunts) and many others. It was estimated $400 million dollars was pumped into the local economy. Higgins, the general Manager of Brits Pub said “It’s probably our quietest time of the year and it’s turned around to be the busiest time of year,” said Higgins. “I think relentless might be the word that we would use.”5 Business which saw the largest increase were restaurants and retailers. Those outside of a block and a half from Nicollet Mall didn’t see an increase in traffic.

Revitalization projects tend to spread organically. The momentum has spread to other projects adjacent or along the Mall. Timed closely with the Nicollet Mall renovation are several office renovations. According to a quarterly report released last month by the local office of Colliers International, the vacancy rate in the Twin Cities office market has increased to 15.3 percent (about a percent). The direct vacancy rate in the downtown core in Minneapolis is 19.7 percent. Class A buildings, the highest tier in terms of building quality, have a vacancy rate of 12.9 percent.6 RSM’s Plaza is focusing on improving the Nicollet Mall entrance and creating a new two-story lobby. Re- tenanting is also focusing on connecting to the synergy of Nicollet Mall. Barnes & Noble will be replaced by a restaurant on the first level, and the Panera on the other side of the building will have outdoor seating patio/park. Baker Center, Lasalle Plaza and TCF building are also in the process of renovating. Target joined with a 10 million dollar renovation focusing on the customers’ evolving expectations and needs. “One of the biggest things we heard from our guests is make it easy for me to find, easier for me to find grab-and-go food options on my lunch and so you’ll see that we moved produce and fresh food to the front,” he said. “We’ve more than doubled the space for grab-and-go options and we really warmed up that environment.”7 Art, warmer materials, increased self check-out and more upscale image were all important design goals. After seeing the success of the renovation, Target has committed to renovating a majority of Twin Cities stores just like the Nicollet Mall location by end of 2019. Other outdoor historic outdoor spaces are also being addressed. The city of Minneapolis is working with Coen + Partners to revitalize Peavey Plaza adjacent to Orchestra Hall. The fountains and water features, new environmentally friendly paving, lighting, accessibility. Construction on the plaza will run through May 2019 with a grand opening planned for June 2019 to coincide with the Minnesota Orchestra summer season. “The project will be funded with $4 million from the City of Minneapolis, $2 million from – continued on page 4 page 4

Our lives busy with technology and increased immediate expectations has certainly affected design, environments and businesses. Downtown Dayton’s building is seeing a rebirth as well. Brian Whiting, president of Chicago-based Telos Group, a leading investor, calls the Dayton’s project “a guiding light” for the rejuvenation of retail and entertainment along Nicollet. We hope he’s right.9 The almost $200 million dollar project will be redeveloped into 12 floors of office space and three levels (basement, street and skyway) for retail and food hall. Still betting this is a gamble? Andrew Zimmern’s Passport Hospitality and Robert Montwaid of New York’s Gansevoort Market are teaming to develop a culinary feast. It will be 30,000-40,000 square feet of market space for bakers, butchers, cheese shops, boutique restaurateurs and entertainment. It will also potentially house a 10,000 sq. ft. gym with showers, indoor/outdoor lounge and green space.

Design is a very subjective thing. But in experiencing the mall, realizing the amount of revitalization spurred on by Nicollet Mall’s renovation, we can call it a success. “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” – Maria Robinson
