Downtown Minneapolis is divided into two official neighborhoods: Downtown East and Downtown West. The DMNA represents the interests of the nearly 40,000 people who live, work and own property in the Downtown community.
The Mill District is located in the Downtown East neighborhood and is considered the birthplace of Minneapolis. The area is home to numerous condominium and apartment projects, as well as the Mill City Museum, the Guthrie Theater and Gold Medal Park. The new $975 Vikings stadium will be built in this neighborhood.
Nicollet Mall forms the commercial heart of the city. It stretches from Washington Avenue on the north to 12th Street on the south. Many iconic Minneapolis buildings line the Mall, notably the Hennepin County Central Public Library, Macy’s, IDS Center and Orchestra Hall.
The Hennepin Theatre District is located along the city’s oldest street – Hennepin Avenue – in the heart of Downtown Minneapolis. It features four distinctive, historic theatres: the Orpheum, State, Pantages and New Century Theatres.
