Duffey Paper to Duffey Lofts Walking Tour

After nearly a decade’s worth of time, and countless runs by developer and architect teams to solve how to reuse three connected but disparate buildings, the former Duffey Paper Company complex finally received its due reward. In the heart of Minneapolis’ Historic Warehouse District, the renovation of Duffey Lofts activates the once barren stretch of Washington Avenue with 188 dwellings, 33,000 SF of amenity and commercial space and a hidden 80 space parking garage. Our tour will discuss the history of the buildings, design decisions made to get the project to pencil out and the wonderful spaces now within the historic structure. The tour will also include a short 2-3 block walk to discuss Duffey2.0, now under construction.
