Set within the iconic North Star Blanket Building along the Mississippi riverfront, this extraordinary loft is one of the most distinctive and rarely available residences in Minneapolis.
Breathtaking river views unfold from nearly every angle, creating an ever-changing backdrop that is simply irreplaceable. Soaring 16-foot vaulted ceilings, dramatic architectural character, and finishes of the highest standard come together in a home that feels both historic and entirely one of a kind.
Carved from one of the city’s most celebrated landmark buildings, the residence is further distinguished by a private rooftop patio an exceptional extension of the living space with commanding views of the river and surrounding skyline.
Offered for the first time in thirteen years, this is far more than a remarkable loft. It is a rare opportunity to own an irreplaceable piece of Minneapolis history.
