Description

The Watkins Building at 1936 South Lyndale Avenue is Hillcrest Developments' latest redevelopment undertaking in Minneapolis, located in the Lowry-East neighborhood near Kenwood. Founded as Watkins Automotive in the 1920s, this vital property was a crucial automotive service center for the community. Later, in the 1940s, it converted into the home of Vision Loss Resources, providing essential services and training for those with vision and hearing difficulties. This transformed property harmoniously blends urban and historic aesthetics today, showcasing newly sandblasted brick and timber and modern upgrades that radiate a unique industrial charm.

This multifaceted redevelopment project caters to various needs, providing creative spaces suitable for offices, creative suites, retail establishments, storage/warehouses, and production/assembly uses. The property's aesthetic allure is enhanced by its 11-foot to 18-foot clear heights, providing an expansive and airy feel to the spaces within. Freshly renovated common areas and tenant finishes add a modern touch, ensuring an enjoyable and stylish environment for occupants. One of the standout features of The Watkins Building is its commitment to convenience, offering free on-site parking – a rare commodity in Minneapolis, let alone South Minneapolis.

With new windows, sandblasted brick and timber finishes, updated entrances and exits, three loading docks, a drive-in bay, new signage, as well as pour-in-place concrete sections, Watkins is positioned to once again become an iconic presence in the neighborhood.

The Watkins Building offers more than just a space. It provides swift connectivity to downtown Minneapolis and public transportation. Positioned just a block from Interstates 94 and 35W, Watkins offers convenient commuting access for tenants and visitors from the broader Minneapolis area.

Surrounded by significant amenities, various restaurants, and distinguished retailers along Lyndale Avenue and Hennepin Avenue, the neighborhood offers a vibrant tapestry of experiences. Aligned with Hillcrest Development's business strategy of improving the properties and communities in which residents live and work, The Watkins Building is a testament to thoughtful redevelopment, seamlessly integrating history with modern functionality.
