STUDIO Development Services' founder and principal, Jeff Dawson, presented the 3100 W Lake Street project at the City of Minneapolis' planning commission hearing on Monday evening where commissioners approved the proposal 5-1. SDS is 3100 MSP LLC's owner representative and has been assisting Dan Otis with the redevelopment project since early in 2015. The 8-story project includes 200 units, two levels of below-grade parking and a roof deck with pool and clubhouse amenities.

This entitlement milestone, pending an appeal to city council, culminates nearly 2 years of work and dozens of meetings with the neighborhood and city. The approval finally clears the way for the project to start construction in early or mid-2018.
