MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. - Transwestern today announces it has been retained by ICM Realty Group to lease Barrel House, an 85,000-square-foot, boutique waterfront office building at 111 Third Ave. S. in downtown Minneapolis. Transwestern’s Jim Montez and Nick Sveen are providing leasing services.
“Barrel House is a rare combination of authentic history and modern amenities,” said Montez. “Businesses of all industries looking to provide their employees with a creative and productive environment will find that Barrel House exceeds their expectations.”
After completing a multimillion-dollar renovation in 2017, ICM Realty Group restored the former barrel factory to its original heritage and installed modern amenities to attract today’s creative tenants. Centered around connectivity, the new design features a large atrium centerpiece, famed rooftop deck, building-wide Wi-Fi, multiple meeting spaces and enclosed parking.
Centrally located in the Mill District neighborhood, Barrel House is situated alongside the Mississippi River and surrounded by the city’s best walking trails, restaurants, entertainment, hotels and more. There will be significant investment in the immediate area, including the upcoming Water Works park, which is conveniently located at Barrel House’s back door. Barrel House is 86 percent leased with nearly 12,000 square feet available, including top-floor space overlooking the Mississippi River and the landmark Stone Arch Bridge.
“As a firm, we believe in and are committed to providing a compelling value proposition to our tenants,” said Andrew Webb, Managing Director of ICM Realty Group. “With the building renovation now complete, the Barrel House does exactly that. We look forward to continuing the growth of our Minneapolis portfolio and our relationship with Transwestern.”
Montez and Sveen worked at Cushman & Wakefield when ICM Realty Group began the renovation process, and they plan to continue their leasing success with Transwestern.
