Polish White Eagle Buildings
Michael Lander presented. He has a purchase agreement with the state of Minnesota to buy the properties at 2nd St and 13th Ave. NE. His goal is to purchase to own them for a long time. His company does real estate development; but this property would be a sideline to that. His goal is to buff it up and put back the touches that have been taken out. The purchase involves three buildings: the hall, the corner bank and the three storefront building; he has asked the seller to include the parking lot in the purchase. He envisions it filling up with neighborhood oriented, street oriented businesses; retail on ground floor, 2nd floor offices. It is not his intention to continue party rental of the hall. He wanted to introduce himself. Contact him with ideas, concerns.
