Built in 1985, the Minneapolis building formerly known as Campbell Mithun Tower recently wrapped up a US$20 million renovation. After a year of construction, Two22 Tower at 222 S. Ninth St. was renovated to take advantage of the building’s connection to public transit and increase utilization by activating dead space, according to the design team, Nelson.

The redesign includes a monumental staircase in the place of escalators, dedicated space in the main entry for vendor pop-ups, and clarified wayfinding. Other updates involved the elevator banks, atrium, and skyway which were given marble finishes and high-technology features. Indoor and rooftop terraces, video conference rooms, and a pool table room were also added.

The last time the building’s public interiors were refreshed was in 2006, according to an article in the StarTribune. The building was acquired by Lingerfelt CommonWealth Partners in 2019.

The building is currently two-thirds leased, with 22,297 square meters (240,000 square feet) still available. Vacancy rates for all downtown Minneapolis offices rose to 24 percent by the second quarter of 2021, Cushman & Wakefield reported, according to the article.
