Chicago-based Northpond Partners has acquired The Broadway and Icehouse Plaza, two Minneapolis mixed-use assets that were part of developer First & First’s creative real estate portfolio. The buildings incorporate a total of 95,895 square feet of office, retail and residential space and are 98 percent leased. A team of CBRE brokers negotiated the transaction on behalf of the seller.

The Broadway is located at 945 Broadway St. N.E. and is home to businesses such as Spyhouse Coffee, 612Brew and CorePower Yoga. The two-story, 56,156-square-foot building was originally completed in 1922 and renovated in 2013. The project illustrates a growing trend in the Twin Cities—that of repositioning Minneapolis historical assets.
