The project was a vertical and horizontal expansion of the existing parking ramp with eight parking levels, 2,000 square feet of retail and office space, and storage for 200 bicycles. To adhere to Allina Health’s commitment to sustainability, a community solar garden, a community promenade, and 20 electric vehicle charging stalls, expandable to 200, were also part of the project.
