A Cinderella Story: Baker Center Transformation
A panel of industry professionals will share their experience with repositioning and marketing an important downtown historic office building.
Designed in 1926 as a terminal for streetcars, Baker Center in downtown Minneapolis has, in many ways, stood the test of time. It’s original art déco décor remains distinctly unique and beautiful. But the largely untouched one-million square foot office buildings weren’t working for today’s workers. The footprints were complicated and disconnected. In-demand amenities were missing and the entire property lacked light and energy.
Knowing the location and skyway connections were critical, the owners set out to revitalize Baker Center to attract new tenants -- to do just the right amount of renovation that was competitive in the market, honor history and cater to today’s mobile worker.
