The Warehouse district is part of
downtown, but is recognized as a distinct
section of downtown. It is west of Hennepin
where there are old warehouses, and differs
from the area east of Hennepin which is
built up with office buildings and corporate
skyscrapers.
Many of the warehouses and other buildings along First Avenue North have been rehabilitated and are now home to restaurants and bars. Butler Square is perhaps the most complete remodeling job; much of the interior has been gutted to create an open-air atrium. Target Center and First Avenue are in the warehouse district, as is Theatre de la Jeunne Leunne. The riverfront north of downtown is just beginning a several-decade, municipally-sponsored redevelopment with work on Mill Ruins park. |
