Near North's Satori Senior Totals 82 Units, Wins Approval Over Staff Objection

A market-rate senior housing building planned for Near North Minneapolis now totals 82 units, four more than its original 2023 approval — and got there over the objection of city staff, who wanted the project's balcony variances denied. The Minneapolis Planning Commission voted Monday to approve JADT Development's proposal for Satori Senior, attaching 10 conditions to the market-rate active adult housing project at 1823–1839 Bryant Avenue North.

380 trees in a space about as big as six parking spaces?

Homer no function beer well without

Your daily Minnesota news roundup starts … NOW. Former Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara resigned in May amid an investigation into workplace sexual misconduct (not to be confused with the workplace sexual misconduct in the St. Paul mayor’s office) and Mayor Jacob Frey installed 31-year veteran Bill Peterson on an interim basis. Standing before the city council on Thursday, Peterson’s bid to become the permanent police chief was denied by an 8-5 vote. The driving concern among the no votes was concern about his ability to drive reform in the department.

Minneapolis Skyways Need a Better Map

Ask almost anyone working on downtown Minneapolis’s recovery about our skyways and the answer comes back as a leasing problem. Too many dark storefronts on the second level; the seemingly obvious fix is to fill them. I see the appeal—landlords desperately need that rent. But the belief that our skyways should keep doing the job they did in 1995, when downtown had a captive daytime workforce and retail with nowhere else to go, is the belief that keeps the system stuck.
