The historic Coliseum project on Lake Street in Minneapolis was a transformative renovation aimed at fostering generational wealth and opportunity for BIPOC small business owners. The 85,000-square-foot historic building, which sustained significant damage during the upheaval following the social unrest in 2020, was revitalized to provide 25 affordable rental spaces for minority-owned businesses. With the expertise of architect and co-owner Alicia Belton and the assistance of New History consultants, led by Managing Director Quentin Collette, general contracting by Watson-Forsberg in partnership with Tri-Construction, along with countless others, the historic building now includes a restaurant affiliated with Du Nord, the reopening of Mama Safia’s Somali-themed restaurant, a hair salon, a barber shop, and an event center. This redevelopment continues the building’s legacy of community support and hopes to continue to leave a lasting impact on the Lake Street corridor. Join us to hear from the project team how they brought all the pieces together.
Continuing Real Estate Education Credit has been applied for and 1 hour is pending approval from the Minnesota Department of Commerce.
