The Dayton’s Project on Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis

The Dayton’s Project in downtown Minneapolis, located at 700 Nicollet Mall, redevelops the historic Dayton’s department store building into a mixed-use complex of offices, retail, and dining. Originally opened in 1902 and later operating as Macy’s, the site was a cornerstone of the city’s retail history for over a century. The renovation preserves the building’s Beaux-Arts character while transforming it into a hub for modern workspaces and commerce—symbolizing Minneapolis’s broader efforts to revitalize its downtown core.
