This is normally a forum where you come for information about residential real estate, but I thought it was worth noting that the American Academy of Neurology is getting a new home in the Minneapolis Mill District just across the street from the Guthrie Theater and the Mississippi River. And the groundbreaking for the project happened last week under a bright white tent even though construction on the project began several weeks ago. The building is a big deal for several reasons. With 63,000 square-feet of space, the city says that it's the "most substantial" office building to go into the ground in nearly a decade. The building is being built on a key piece of land across from the theater that was once an ill-fated condo project. And the building will be the international headquarters for an organization that's sure to attract a significant number of people to shop and eat in the city for various meetings and gatherings. Completion is scheduled for early 2012.
