MINNEAPOLIS (June 10, 2014) – United Properties has added nine new tenants to its Loose-Wiles Building since the beginning of 2014, bringing the building to 90 percent leased. MarketingLab and Ovative/group are the two largest of the new leases, at approximately 10,000 sq. ft. each.
Other new leases signed this year include: Family Solutions Law Group, J.R. Paddon, Logistics Planning, North Loop Capital, Straight Line Theory, Thorsen/Post Net and Waterstone Mortgage. Located at 701 Washington Ave. N., 7,000 sq. ft. of the 120,000 sq. ft. building remains available for lease.
“The Loose-Wiles Building is in a great location with many dining and transit options nearby. And the space gives tenants the true converted warehouse aesthetic,” said Jim Montez, Cushman & Wakefield/NorthMarq, who represented United Properties in the transactions.
The Freehouse, a restaurant and brewhouse, is located on the first floor of the Loose-Wiles Building. Other tenants include Fields Law, LHB and RJM Construction. Once a commercial bakery and home of the Loose-Wiles Biscuit Company (later Sunshine Biscuits), the Loose-Wiles Building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. United Properties purchased the building in July 2012.
