From Breakfast Cereal to Stunning Lofts in Northeast Minneapolis
Located at 730 Stinson Blvd NE, Minneapolis, MN 55413, CW Lofts has long been a familiar fixture for Northeast residents, although with a somewhat different name and a much different purpose. The sprawling property with its 125-foot-tall corner tower was originally commissioned as the new headquarters and factory for the expanding Cream of Wheat operations. Designed by Walter H. Wheeler, the reinforced concrete building is clad with buff-colored brick and further embellished by Mankato stone accents. There would be multiple changes to the Cream of Wheat story in the modern era, with Nabisco taking over in 1961 followed by an acquisition by Kraft Foods in 2000. Kraft closed the Minneapolis operations a couple years later and the building languished until its redevelopment in 2007 into true loft condos with a dramatic sense of style. Other notable historic condo conversions in Northeast Minneapolis include Madison Lofts, Calumet Lofts, and 1901 Lofts.
Located at the corner of Stinson Boulevard and Broadway Street, CW Lofts is a large and architecturally stunning structure with approximately 118 one and two-bedroom residences, most of which are spread across four primary levels. There are also a number of live/work spaces that are popular with artists, as well as select fifth level penthouses jutting above the roofline. And finally, there is one unique Tower residence with four levels and windows on each side of each level. The condos offer a variety of intriguing features such as soaring ceilings, exposed brick walls, overhead ductwork, and some unusual railroad tie accents.
Floors in the main living areas are often polished concrete, with either wood or other materials at the lofts levels. The majority of residences have elevated lofts in a variety of designs, including some fascinating platforms with metal frameworks that are reminiscent of old factory catwalks. The gourmet kitchens are also notable, nestling against single or partial walls and handsomely equipped with stone counters, stainless steel appliances, and Nordic-style modern wooden cabinetry. Many residences have some sort of private outdoor space, from patios to terraces to roof decks. The bathrooms are nicely designed, and there are plenty of other features including fun workspaces, in-unit washers and dryers, and tons of closet and storage space.
CW Lofts is set on a large two-acre lot and surrounded by expanses of lush lawns. There are outdoor lounging areas, a private dog park, and a community garden where residents can grow their own veggies. Common areas inside the condo building are also exceptional, starting with the lobby with a fireplace, sitting areas, and displays honoring the building’s Cream of Wheat origins. A giant community room with towering ceilings features a full kitchen, multiple high-tops, and comfortable lounge furniture. You can work out in the fitness center and socialize on the roof deck with its stellar views. There is also a conference room, an art gallery that celebrates local art and culture, heated garage parking, and lots of extra surface parking for guests. The building is located in the University Park neighborhood within the larger Northeast area, close to coffee shops, delis, bars and restaurants, local shops, and more.
