We have a vision for the future because we’ve helped build the past. Our task now is to harness the momentum of successful projects and use that energy to continue to make progress. We see needs that should be met and have the boldness, drive and focus to see them through for the sake of the common good. We’re not only connected to the right people but we are the right people to make real transformational change happen. Our collective areas of expertise make us catalysts for smarter and faster moves in every endeavor we pursue.
Our Commitment
Our History + Boundary Map
Since its origins in 2006, NūLoop Partners has been an evolving private and public forum that organizes to facilitate the continuing transformation of a vital and unique place. Its goal is to lay the foundation and attract investment for future development in the North Loop by knitting together communities and leveraging district assets with a special emphasis on Target Field, Minneapolis Farmers Market, transit and energy. The NuLoop boundaries are Lyndale Avenue to the west, the Mississippi River to the east, and from Plymouth Avenue south to Hennepin Avenue. This includes the North Loop Neighborhood, the Warehouse District Business Association, and approximately 30 blocks of Downtown West.
STEERING COMMITTEE
The NūLoop Partners consists of 25 Steering Committee members coming from private and public organizations and more than 300 leaders from dozens of additional organizations participating in regular meetings. Our annual goals and full work plan can be downloaded here.
