The Revival of Hennepin Ave

This article from yesterday's Business Journal was fun for us to read....not only because it mentions Shea's upcoming office move....but because so many of our projects were also mentioned: The Butcher & the Boar, Rosa Mexicano, Crave and Lunds. We're proud of our role in helping to transform Hennepin Avenue. We'll see you there in June!

The Butcher & the Boar restaurant opening on Hennepin Avenue

The Butcher & the Boar will be the latest addition to a changing Hennepin Avenue when the restaurant opens later this month.


The restaurant is located at 1121 Hennepin Ave., in the Harmon Place Historic District.

Jack Riebel described his new restaurant to the Downtown Journal as an “American craft food and bourbon house.”

As the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal reported in September, new eateries to the corridor include Rosa Mexicano, Crave, Thom Pham's Wondrous Azian Kitchen and Bullfrog Cajun Café.

Also, Shea Inc., a design firm, is moving its corporate headquarters to the former Shinders building at Hennepin and 8th Street. Lund Food Holdings broke ground for a new Lunds grocery store at 12th Street and Hennepin on September 1.

Construction has begun on the future Shea, Inc. headquarters at the corner of Hennepin and 8th Street.
