$79,500 Minneapolis Skyway - That’s right! an actual SKYWAY.
We are an architecture firm in Minneapolis and we are offering up for sale a skyway. You have never seen one for sale before, and likely will not again! This is a once in a lifetime, one of a kind, classic modern building. You’ve got to see it to believe it.
We have developed numerous possible uses for it as can be seen below in the images, and have many more not shown here. This will make a spectacular:
Cabin or Private Retreat.
Wine Bar
Restaurant
Office or Studio
Yoga Studio
Small Conference Center
Park Building
Pedestrian Bridge
Skyway
Gallery
Skating Warming House
Interpretive Center
Sculpture
Inhabitable Billboard
Observation Platform
Hunting Lodge
Fish House (might be a bit heavy, gotta watch that ice)
Retail Store
Minnesota State Fair Building (great restaurant, milk booth, cheese on a stick, beer hall, butter sculpture gallery).
It can span 80 feet and is almost 20 feet wide. It could go over a road, a river, a creek, a ravine. It can be lifted off the ground and you can park under it. As a cabin it can have 2 bedrooms a reading room, full bath, kitchen, dining, and still have a 40 foot living room.
It was designed by “The Father of the Skyways” Minneapolis architect Ed Baker. He also worked with Phillip Johnson as the local architect on the IDS Building. Originally it connected the JC Penny’s and Powers Department stores in downtown Minneapolis and was taken down when the light rail transit line was built.
Basic Facts:
Size: 1380 sqft
Exterior: 19’8” x 83’ x 14’ Tall
Materials: Steel, Glass, Concrete
Just so you know, to build a new skyway costs upwards of $1,000,000. To build the steel structure in this skyway alone has been estimated @ $250,000 +
This opportunity will not pass this way again!!!

Must be moved from current location near the University of Minnesota Minneapolis campus - exact date open to negotiation.
Skyway sold as is.
