Dayton's Project releases new renderings, updates

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Developers released new design renderings for the Dayton's Project in downtown Minneapolis.

The 12-story building at 700 Nicollet was home to the iconic Dayton's department store for decades and will soon be a place for retail, dining and office spaces. The building is set to open to the public in spring 2020.

Renderings from Gensler show the 45,000-square-foot dining hall, rooftop terrace, private event spaces and gym facility are also in the works.

The project partners are working with the State Historic Preservation Office to preserve parts of the iconic landmark, including the Art Deco bathrooms and JB Hudson space.
