Lease signed for 8,000 sq. ft. above new Walgreens store
MINNEAPOLIS (July 20, 2015) – United Properties, along with its joint venture partner Capital Real Estate, Inc., announces a lease with North Memorial Health Care for a clinic on the second floor of 655 Nicollet Mall in downtown Minneapolis. Previously occupied by Saks, the skyway-level space will become the sixteenth North Memorial Health Care primary care clinic location in the metro. The clinic will offer primary care (including walk-in appointments), advanced imaging, mammography, podiatry, occupational medicine and lab services. The first floor of the 50,000-sq.-ft. space owned by the joint venture is leased to Walgreens for its first upscale store format in Minnesota.
The lease for the North Memorial space on the skyway level was signed in April; the clinic will open in November 2015. The 8,000-sq.-ft. clinic will have direct access to Gaviidae Common and the IDS Center. In addition to United Properties and Capital Real Estate, Inc., the project team includes general contractor BTS Construction, architect HGA, D.J. Kranz Co. and S2 Enterprises.
“We are thrilled to expand access to North Memorial Health Care’s primary care services into downtown Minneapolis,” said Kelly Macken-Marble, North Memorial Health Care president of population health and ambulatory services. “With this new location we are bringing the North Memorial care that this community has come to trust and value close to where they live and work.”
In December 2014, United Properties, in a joint venture with Capital Real Estate, Inc., acquired the first two floors of 655 Nicollet Mall. Construction on the Walgreens space began in February 2015 and will be complete in September 2015.
