Mill City Farmers Market: Founded in 2006 by local acclaimed chef and restaurateur Brenda Langton, Mill City Farmers Market has earned a reputation for its promotion and support of local, sustainable, and organic agriculture. Typically located next to the Guthrie Theater and Langton's own Spoonriver restaurant in downtown Minneapolis, the market is making its first voyage to the skyway-connected Capella Tower, right in the heart of downtown Minneapolis!
Capella Tower: Located at 225 South Sixth St., Capella Tower is the states largest office building and is managed by Ryan Companies and leased by CBRE. Capella Towers ground and skyway levels recently underwent a $7M redesign, transforming the space into a next generation working environment for tenants and their guests. The Musicant Group has in turn been retained to program and manage the new space, creating dynamic experiences for tenants and guests get away from the office, while still being productive. Capella Towers common area is space for connections, creating, and collaboration; a place to work and play. The building ownership, management, and leasing team are creating a new type of working environment within the modern office building.
