AKF was proud to be involved in this history-making building - the tallest residential building in Minnesota and the tallest building built in Minnesota in the past 30 years! With the project also came very specific challenges related to properly pressurizing a 550-ft tall building against Stack Effect in Minneapolis’s extremely cold weather. Whole building pressurization isn’t often examined from both design and operations perspectives; the project team was able to successfully leverage AKF's commissioning and design expertise to address this issue. #Minnesota #StackEffect #MEPdesign #Commissioning
Building: Eleven on the River Location: Minneapolis, Minnesota 🇺🇸 Completed: 2022 Height: 550 ft (170m) Floors: 42 Apartments: 120 units Architect: Robert A. M. Stern Architects Eleven on the River is a 550 ft (170m) tall skyscraper in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, located at 1111 W River Pkwy. Completed in 2022, Eleven has 42 floors and 120 units. It is the 7th-tallest building in Minneapolis, and the tallest residential building in Minnesota. The art deco tower was designed by Robert A. M. Stern Architects. Construction on the tower began in October 2019 and was completed in 2022. Minneapolis based Ryan Companies US, Inc. served as the general contractor for the project. The building draws on early 20th-century Art Deco aesthetics. Its clean lines, geometric forms, and balanced proportions evoke both timeless elegance and forward-thinking innovation. From an engineering perspective, the project leveraged advanced structural solutions to achieve both robustness and flexibility. Meyer Borgman Johnson’s structural framework, coupled with the innovative use of precast concrete panels produced by Gage Brothers and installed by Amerect Inc., not only streamlined construction but also delivered a distinctive sandblasted finish reminiscent of historic craftsmanship.
