Smack fresh lobster in Minneapolis' North Loop... the place for cool new restaurants and bars
Sharlene Hensrud (RE/MAX Results - HomesMSP.com)

The trend for warehouse condo conversions began in the North Loop with The Itasca in the 1980s. Now it is the spot for the newest and trendiest restaurants and bars. When condo development exploded in this neighborhood in the early 2000s there weren't many services nearby. That is rapidly changing while still maintaining its gritty and independent energy.

One of the new restaurants in 2013 is Smack Shack, the new year-round home for casual fresh lobster that started with a food truck that attracted long lines. I drive through the North Loop regularly, and noticed all the activity on their corner after they opened this winter.

We decided to check it out for brunch on a Sunday not long ago. It turned out to be a good time to go... not crowded or fancy, just delicious fresh lobster in an atmosphere that reminded me of the East Coast. It made me think of smacking lobster from a walk-up lobster shack in Nova Scotia while sitting at an outdoor picnic table and watching the highest tides in the world roll in.

The Smack Shack food truck became famous for its lobster rolls and lobster mac and cheese, which are still on their menu, but there are also many more offerings. You are greeted by their big lobster pot as you enter... no question that the Smack Shack is all about fresh lobster!

In addition to restaurants and bars, the North Loop has become a hotbed for men's boutique stores and shops that embrace the area's Scandinavian roots. It is also the site of the new Interchange project near the Twins Stadium, which will be a transportation hub connecting all modes of public transportation including light rail and commuter rail... as well as an adjacent multi-million dollar year-round entertainment plaza.

Forbes included the Minneapolis North Loop on their list of America's Best Hipster Neighborhoods.

Also known as the Warehouse District, this centrally located hood is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Its large warehouses have been converted to apartments, boutiques and restaurants in recent years. Bike trails, a park and an arts collective Traffic Zone Center for Visual Art also boost the hipness quotient.

This area has fascinated me for years... I am excited to see the infrastructure developing to make this an even more awesome place to live.

Security Lofts Minneapolis | North Loop | 404 Washington Ave N. VIDEO
Danny Dietl Buy|Sell|Lease iMetroProperty.com (iMetroProperty.com)

The owner combined what was originally two separate Security Lofts into one incredible home with New York style, design and inspiration. This home features dramatic 13’ ceilings, with incredible timber beams, exposed brick, concrete floors and over-sized windows that bring in streams of natural light. The open floor plan and pure size will give the new owner a blank canvas to create their own unique and perfect home. 

 

The long brick wall filled with tall windows creates a wonderful backdrop to the overall space. The galley kitchen, as you enter, is a focal point and a great place to entertain or gather casually for informal meals. The main living area is offered definition by some of the larger timber beams which gives versatility to how one can use the space. Several private rooms were created on the perimeter of the loft. Starting with a large and functional mudroom off the entrance. The 4th bedroom could serve as a variety of rooms including as an office or media room. The lofted space could serve as an excellent home office with incredible storage or a child’s dream playroom beneath with shoji screens. In the hallway you’ll find the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms, both generous in size and closet space as well as the 2nd bath. Next you have the large master bedroom with a thoughtfully designed double vanity and a custom built walk-in closet that creates a private retreat in the loft. Upgrades were carefully chosen such as Nelson and Artemide lighting and the space was thoughtfully designed. Come enjoy true loft living in the North Loop and let your Security Lofts home inspire you. (Click for the MLS listing.)

720 Lofts | North Loop Condos and Lofts Minneapolis
Danny Dietl Buy|Sell|Lease iMetroProperty.com (iMetroProperty.com)

720 Lofts is located in the North Loop of downtown Minneapolis and is one of the newer construction buildings added in the mid 2000's to meet the demand for North Loop condos and lofts. Here we'll explore the recent sales activity in the building. The interesting thing about the North Loop market right now and contrary to most peoples perception is that we are actaully bordering on a sellers market and are lacking of inventory. In addition to that Forbes magazine just announced Minneapolis as the 2nd worst market to be a renter meaning it's a good time to consider buying which also makes it a good time to consider selling.
