Serviced offices in Minneapolis

Minneapolis-Saint Paul hosts one of the largest groupings of Fortune 500 headquarters in the country, spanning financial services, medical technology, retail, agribusiness and healthcare, and the law, accounting, consulting and marketing firms serving them keep a constant call on small suites downtown. The University of Minnesota and a large teaching hospital sector hold a research and clinical workforce close to the centre, and a strong advertising and creative community has settled in the North Loop.

Downtown around Nicollet Mall and the IDS Center is the core for banking, legal and headquarters tenants, and the North Loop is the main creative, technology and agency district in converted warehouse stock with a deep founder community. Uptown and the lakes attract boutique professional services and healthcare tenants, the West End in St Louis Park and Wayzata serve corporate and financial services occupiers preferring suburban campuses, and the university area supports life sciences and research-linked tenants.

The Skyway shapes building choice more than in any other American city. Occupiers heavily favour skyway-connected buildings, which allow staff to move between office, lunch and amenities without exposure to the winter, and stock even a block off the network can trade at a discount, while the North Loop has built its own pull through amenity density and a walkable grid. Demand has skewed to private suites and managed offices, taken on monthly or 12-month terms with rent, furniture, reception and utilities on a single fee.
