The 1101 West Broadway Building was the recipient of the 2008 Neighborhood Preservation Award from the Minneapolis Heritage Preservation Commission and American Institute of Architects – Minnesota and the 2007 NAIOP Award of Excellence for the Repositioned/Renovated (0-150,000 sq. ft.) category. The project was recognized with the 2006 Best in Real Estate Award in the Redevelopment/Extensive Renovation (Small, Commercial) category.
Completed in May 2007, the southwest corner of West Broadway Avenue and Emerson Avenue North now houses renewed life. After being vacant and boarded for 10 years, the 1101 West Broadway Building began a major renovation project. The renovated building houses a credit union, a community building organization, and a coffee shop as tenants.
The Ackerberg Group, Welsh Construction, Emerge Community Development (ECD), and City County Federal Credit Union (CCFSU) teamed together to respond to a City of Minneapolis RFP-process for the long-vacant building that the city acquired. The city awarded the opportunity to the team and construction began in October 2006.
The 1101 West Broadway Building was in a serious state of disrepair when the project began. The BKV Group provided architectural services for the project and Welsh Construction was the general contractor. The $4 million renovation required significant tuck-pointing, the addition of an elevator, new roof, all new mechanical, electrical and plumbing, and the replacement of the storefronts. A new parking lot with 69 stalls and a drive-thru bank sit behind the building.
