Arts + Rec Uptown Teases New Vision for Seven Points
August 4, 2022
Behind the art displays and lemonade stands that will activate Lake and Hennepin in Minneapolis for this weekend’s Uptown Art Fair stands a business district in an unprecedented state of transition. Commercial buildings at three of the four corners of one of the city’s most prominent intersections stand vacant. The new entrance to Seven Points at the southwest corner of the intersection is so discreet that the shopping center might appear on first glance, to be closed. And beyond the new Chase Bank branch in the front corner spot that was long home to restaurants—and a few other determined tenants—the shopping center is a quiet shadow of itself inside, too.
