Ford Center · Office Property For Lease
Property Overview
Once an underutilized studio/warehouse building in a neglected area of downtown Minneapolis, the 10-story, 270,131 square foot Ford Center is now a vibrant office building situated at the center of urban activity. Accepted onto the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, the red brick fortress resides in the Minneapolis North Loop adjacent to The Interchange, a multimodal transit hub, and Target Field, home to Major League Baseball’s Minnesota Twins. Originally constructed in 1914 as a vertical assembly plant and showroom for Ford Motor Company, the building housed one of the largest auto plants in the country employing approximately 600 workers and turning out 287 Model-T cars per day. In 2007, a United Properties partnership acquired the under-leased property with plans to restore the exterior of the historic edifice and renovate the interior into corporate workspace. Utilizing historic tax credits, the new owner completed an impressive $42 million renovation in 2012 and achieved LEED Gold Certification, demonstrating a commitment to environmentally sustainable office space at Ford Center. Through the addition of modern workplace amenities and mechanical systems, which complement the building’s historic character, the 100-year-old Ford Center represents an energetic union of past and future.

Sustainability
ENERGY STAR® Energy Star is a program run by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) that promotes energy efficiency and provides simple, credible, and unbiased information that consumers and businesses rely on to make well-informed decisions. Thousands of industrial, commercial, utility, state, and local organizations partner with the EPA to deliver cost-saving energy efficiency solutions that protect the climate while improving air quality and protecting public health. The Energy Star score compares a building’s energy performance to similar buildings nationwide and accounts for differences in operating conditions, regional weather data, and other important considerations. Certification is given on an annual basis, so a building must maintain its high performance to be certified year to year. To be eligible for Energy Star certification, a building must earn a score of 75 or higher on EPA’s 1 – 100 scale, indicating that it performs better than at least 75 percent of similar buildings nationwide. This 1 – 100 Energy Star score is based on the actual, measured energy use of a building and is calculated within EPA’s Energy Star Portfolio Manager tool.
