Arts Alley

Minneapolis, MN

Arts Alley

Vision: The goal was to transform a boring metal building into a contemporary commercial property.
 

Looking at its edgy exterior of curtain wall glass and brick and concrete block, few would guess that The Alley began life as a Butler Metal Building or that it once housed a bowling alley. Master transformed a boarded and unremarkable structure into a cool, 18,000 sq. ft. commercial center. The Alley features 15’ – 22’ ceilings with clear span spaces, large windows, skylights, and Terrazzo floors. We also reused the original wooden bowling lanes as new office flooring. The Alley is home to offices and high-tech companies.

Was:

Originally built in the 1950s as a prefab metal building, this former bowling alley sat vacant and boarded up for many years.


Now:

Master transformed the property into its company headquarters at The Alley, 2nd Street & Broadway Avenue North. Today, it’s home to engineers, architects, contractors, real estate brokers, a law firm, and three other thriving businesses.
