365 Nicollet Apartment Building, Boarded Entrance

The entrance to the 365 Nicollet apartment building in downtown Minneapolis is boarded with plywood. This protective measure was implemented in May 2020, following the murder of George Floyd and the subsequent civil unrest and protests that occurred throughout the city. The boarding of commercial and residential properties became a widespread practice across Minneapolis to safeguard buildings during this period of intense public expression. Completed in 2017, the 365 Nicollet is a prominent residential high-rise contributing to the urban environment of downtown Minneapolis.
