A recently transformed office building in Edina, MN illustrates that urban-inspired, modern design with first-class amenities can draw tenants to a conveniently located suburb, according to developers City Center Realty Partners.

 In late 2021, City Center completed a full-scale renovation of the 9-story 7201 Metro Boulevard building, the largest of its three-building complex The E, located off Highway 100. CCRP owns the 11-acre campus in a joint venture with Contrarian Capital Management. HGA’s Minneapolis office led the design.

Brokerage firm Newmark signed the first new tenants to the freshly remodeled building in April. Specialty finance company Mitsubishi HC Capital America, which was represented by David Buyse with Corporate Tenant Advisors, will occupy 17,641 square feet. Relievant Medsystems, a medical device company which was represented by Andrew Commers with Newmark, will occupy 12,754 square feet of the 107,000 square foot building.
