Erin Fitzgerald, Founder and CEO of Willow Peak, announced the firm’s acquisition of 300 First Ave. N in downtown Minneapolis, in partnership with Onward Investors. This five-story building marks the beginning of Willow Peak’s mission to revitalize the city’s core. Fitzgerald emphasized that the purchase is part of their broader commitment to economic growth, aiming to create spaces where businesses and community life thrive together. The building, currently 53% leased to Anaplan, is being considered for a mix of office, retail, entertainment, wellness, and residential uses. Located near the North Loop, the property is set to benefit from nearby infrastructure improvements. Willow Peak’s vision aligns with Mayor Jacob Frey’s Downtown Action Plan, which focuses on building reuse, filling vacancies, and activating public spaces to revitalize downtown Minneapolis.
