Minneapolis, MN 55455 Office: 612-625-5345 Fax: 612-624-6345 February 2018 This University of Minnesota Fiscal Year Lease Report documents the University's real estate leasing activity during Fiscal Year 2017 (July 1, 2016 – June 30, 2017). Approximately 4,075 leases and easements involving the University as landlord or tenant, including the PUF leases, were in existence during the fiscal year and are included in this report. During Fiscal Year 2017, the total cost of 376 long-term leases, providing for the University’s use of 772,479 square feet (SF) of building space plus numerous apartments which are not measured, and 2,299 acres of land, air-rights and subsurface rights, plus 425 short-term use agreements, was approximately $20.3 million. This compares to 408 long-term leases and 490 short- term use agreements in existence during Fiscal Year 2016 covering 806,143 SF and 2,657 acres at an approximate total cost of $21 million. The University’s total leased building space in Fiscal Year 2017 was relatively unchanged from the previous year as there were no significant new lease transactions that occurred. However, the Leased space in Minneapolis shows a decrease of approximately 34,000 SF from the previous fiscal year.

  • President Global Minnesota
    presents President Global Minnesota Ballinger | Leafblad is proud to present the following information on behalf of our client, Global Minnesota, in its search for a President. globalminnesota.org ballingerleafblad.com presenting our client Global Minnesota ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW The Global Minnesota story began in 1953 when it was founded as the International Center for Students and Visitors -- guided by the motto “They came as strangers – may they leave as friends.” Founded by Josef Mestenhauser, Bill Rogers, and Forrest Moore, the organization, later named the Minnesota International Center (MIC), was created as a partnership between the community and the University of Minnesota that engaged ‘Citizen Diplomats’ to connect Minnesotans with visiting students and scholars. It was believed that diplomacy was not the exclusive domain of professional diplomats, but that all walks of society could be involved in international relations. After its founding, MIC evolved from direct service into a multifaceted nonpartisan organization with a mission to promote international understanding and engagement through globally-focused educational opportunities for Minnesota residents of all ages. In March 2016, MIC was rebranded as Global Minnesota to better reflect who it is, what it does, and the dynamic and culturally-diverse state it serves. In 2017, Global Minnesota reached more than 6,000 people through public events, created more than 3,600 hours of meaningful cross-cultural interactions in elementary classrooms across the state, and welcomed nearly 500 international visitors to Minnesota. Today, Global Minnesota is considered to be one of the top affiliates of the World Affairs Councils of America. It is a proud member of Global Ties U.S., the nonprofit arm of the U.S.
