A record number of apartments and a raft of hotels and office buildings will be built in the Twin Cities this year — the first wave of them is working its way through the municipal approvals process in Minneapolis.

On Thursday, the Minneapolis Planning Commission's Committee of the Whole agenda was chock full of big projects.

Here's a rundown on some of the largest:

• Calhoun Towers, 3430 List Place, is a four-phase development with 852 units (113 existing and 739 proposed) and 852 parking spaces. The plan includes retention of the existing Calhoun Tower, construction of two apartment towers and construction of two six-story buildings.

• Bassett Creek East, 747 3rd St. N., is a six-story, mixed-use building with 139 units and 3,600 square feet of retail.

• 1400 Loring is a six-story mixed-use building with ground-floor commercial and 230 housing units that will occupy several addresses including 1400 to 1422 ½ Nicollet Av., 15 W. 14th St. and 1409 LaSalle Av.
