Downtown Minneapolis is divided into two official neighborhoods: Downtown East and Downtown West. The DMNA represents the interests of the nearly 150,000 people who live, work and own property in the Downtown community.
The Mill District spans both the Downtown East and West neighborhoods and is considered the birth place of Minneapolis. The area is home to numerous condominium and apartment projects as well as the Mill City Museum, The Depot, Crown Roller, Ceresota, Guthrie Theatre and MacPhail Center for Music.
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.
The Land Use Committee works hard to advocate for the development priorities of the neighborhood. The committee meets on the 1st Tuesday of the month.[Read More]
